| | Berlin's cash-strapped Love Parade cancelled, German News, Germany, Expatica |
 | | The Love Parade lost its status as a demonstration in 2001, leading to enormous increases in the costs of staging the event, which remained free for the hundreds of thousands of ravers who attended. |
 | | This, coupled with the poor economic climate, meant that it was no longer possible to organise the Love Parade in such a way that the costs could be covered, said the organisers. |
 | | However the Love Parade continues to be one of Germany's export successes, with Love Parades taking place this year in Tel Aviv, Acapulco, San Francisco and Santiago de Chile, among other cities. |
