2003 - seven years after the first Hanfparade, it attracted several thousand hempsters again - as a colorful and multicultural demonstration.

On August 23rd of 2003 the Hanfparade started in front of the Ministry of Finance and moved to the Kurfürstendamm and memorial church. With the slogan "Free hemp!" a big party rocked the streets until late at night

The political Highlight surely were the speeches of Christian Ströbele (Green Party) and Jan van der Tas (former ambassador of the Netherlands).

Many well-known people of the hemp-scene contributed again this year. Rainer Nowotny, a industrial hemp processor, Werner Graf of the Hanfjournal, and many more hempsters from Switzerland and the Netherlands participated and made the Hanfparade 2003 the biggest and most interesting pro-hemp event in Germany.

The musical range was wide again and bands like Les Babbacools, Schwarz auf Weiß, Götz Widmann, Kamikaze 52, MC Rene and the Skunk Allstars rocked the main stage.

The alternative stage was a great opportunity for new bands to present themselves to a bigger audience and to show their potential.
