Techno Parade returns to Paris on Saturday, 19 September after a two-year absence.

The event is scheduled from 12:00 to 18:00 local time and begins around Place de la Bastille.

Sound-system floats, DJs, collectives and electronic-music labels will take part as the parade moves through the French capital.

Admission is free.

Techno Parade is one of France’s best-known events dedicated to electronic-music culture. According to information published by the City of Paris, its largest past editions attracted as many as roughly 400,000 participants.

That figure describes historic editions and should not be presented as an official attendance forecast for 2026.

At the time of the latest official update, the complete 2026 route had not yet been announced.

Participants should check organiser updates before the event for the final route, traffic restrictions and any security instructions.
