About 1,000 people took part, dancing behind two motorized floats with sound equipment, DJs and dancers known as ''Lovemobiles''.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Keystone-SDA/jdp |title=Zurich Street Parade makes a roaring comeback |url=https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/business/zurich-street-parade-makes-a-roaring-comeback/47826028 |access-date=2022-09-15 |website=SWI swissinfo.ch |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Streetparade 13/08/2022 [Event Guide] |url=https://www.electronic-festivals.com/event/streetparade |access-date=2022-09-15 |website=www.electronic-festivals.com}}</ref>
