As hundreds of thousands flood Zurich's streets for Street Parade, a different kind of dancefloor will take shape inside the courtyard of Café Europa. PEACE RAVE is a new cultural gathering presented by Temporary Culture Club Roland, Studio Club, Stereo Bar, RESONICA and Café Europa.

At its core, PEACE RAVE is about bringing people together. Electronic music has always been more than entertainment.

PEACE RAVE embraces this idea. It is an invitation to gather peacefully, exchange ideas, celebrate diversity and experience the unifying power of music. The event also marks the launch of a new cultural format for Zurich—one built on collaboration between some of the city's most influential actors across music, nightlife and hospitality. It combines a forward-thinking artistic vision with a clear social message: peace, openness, respect and community. A Line-up Defined by Substance, Not Hype Musically, PEACE RAVE follows a simple philosophy: quality over trends. Line-Up announcement on the 12th of July 2026 Beyond a single event, the long-term vision is to establish PEACE RAVE as a recurring fixture of Zurich's summer cultural calendar, expanding into different open-air locations across the city while maintaining its core values: encounter, respect and musical discovery. For one day during Street Parade weekend, Café Europa's courtyard becomes a space where differences fade into the background and common ground comes to the foreground. A place to celebrate what connects us. Music. Peace. Community. PEACE RAVE Zurich · Street Parade Weekend
