The chosen theme for 2011 is called « Indépen’ danse » :

- to get back to the origins of the event : a demonstration created in 1998 to defend and promote an electronic culture, completely acquired by the general audience today.

- to emphasize the leading element of this event, as important as the music : dancing, which federates, gathers and unifies an audience getting more and more numerous every year.

- to pay tribute to the wind of freedom which has blown throughout the world these past few months : already represented in 2010 by the float Sound of Carthage, Tunisia is the guest of honor of the Techno Parade 2011. The best of the Tunisian electronic culture will come to celebrate the recent popular and libertarian  impulse of the country of jasmine, to the rhythms of « Indépen’ dance » !

13 years ago, French superstar DJ Bob Sinclar mixed at the very first Techno Parade. Since then, he has not stopped participating to it with passion and involvement. A pioneer of the French Touch and an ambassador of the French scene worldwide, a real melting-pot of musical inspirations, an example of success to the youth, Bob Sinclar immediately agreed on patronizing the 2011 edition, allowing it, due to his fame, to glow far beyond our borders : Technopol is proud of its Parade, proud of its patron and proud to gather every year, under various musical banners, hundreds of thousands of passionate people, whether  they are famous or anonymous.

Henri Maurel, former co-president of Technopol, brutally  left us on February 16th. President-founder of DJ FG Radio, co-founder of the Techno Parade and one of the most fervent defenders of the Civil Union, he had always had for  the Parade an evergrowing ambition and passion : this thirteenth edition is dedicated to him.

The 13th edition of the Techno Parade will take place on Saturday, September 17th, 2011, and will start at Place de la République, passing by Bastille and ending Place d’Italie.
