The Parade Formerly Known as LoveFest

LovEvolution (formerly known as LoveFest) will descend upon San Francisco this Saturday, October 3 for the 6th year in the row. It promises to be bigger, better, and beefier than the year before and we at Bui Photography can’t wait as this will be our first year covering this amazing event! Armed with our media passes, cameras, and lots of bottled water, we’re definitely excited for LovEvolution, and look forward to shooting up a storm, capturing all the fun and excitement through our lenses. You can see past events we’ve attend in our galleries here.

For those who have never been to or heard of LovEvolution, it is a huge dance music parade and festival that takes place annually in San Francisco starting at 2nd Street & Market Street and goes all the way to Civic Center Plaza; billed as the largest electronic dance music event in America. Born from the infamous Berlin Love Parade, LovEvolution seeks to promote peace, understanding, tolerance, diversity, love, and respect through dance and celebration.

A massive live  stage setup in front of San Francisco City Hall that will feature the 11-piece dance orchestra, The Mutaytor, along with 15 other great performance artists including LA Riots, Kenji Williams, Star Culture and more! There will be floats and lots of people!

If you are around or in San Francisco, come on by this Saturday and partake in what will be a very fun and exciting event! Parade starts at 12 PM. There is also a $10 fee to get in at the Civic Center Plaza festival gates that goes toward supporting many worthy organizations such as Friends of the Main Library, Next Aid, Aids Housing Alliance, The Center for Sex and Culture, Beat University Scholarship Fund, Bay Area Young Positives, SF Suicide Prevention/HIV AIDs Nightline and more.

See you there!
