Hanfparade Berlin is Germany's largest and most traditional demonstration for the legalization of cannabis. It's a significant annual event that brings together thousands of people to advocate for the use of cannabis as a medicine, a natural resource, and for recreational purposes.
The event is for a broad audience, including cannabis enthusiasts, activists, patients, and anyone interested in the political and social aspects of cannabis legalization in Germany and worldwide.
Participants can expect a large-scale parade with decorated floats, public speakers, and a final rally. It's a vibrant and peaceful demonstration with a festival-like atmosphere, featuring music, information booths, and networking opportunities.
The Hanfparade has been held annually in Berlin every August since 1997. It was initiated by activists and has grown into a major event, with the 2026 parade marking its 30th anniversary. It has played a consistent role in the public discourse on cannabis legalization in Germany.
