Programme of the Stage on Hanfparade 2024

The Stage is the centre of the big opening and closing rallies of the Hanfparade, visible and audible from afar. Here, high-ranking politicians and scene representatives present their ideas of a risk-minimising cannabis policy or report on the latest developments in the field of commercial hemp. The programme is livened up by live performances with artists from hip hop, rap, pop, raggae and dancehall, punk, pop to space rock.

The location is: On Spandauer Straße near the Neptunbrunnen, close to Alexanderplatz and within sight of Berlin’s Red City Hall.

After the final rally at Alexanderplatz there will be many after parties in Berlin…

Video from earlier Hanfparade

To make an impression how Hanfparade may look like, have a look at the archive of Hanfparade.

The fact that Cannabis is ancient, lacking in side effects, yet a natural medicine which could help many people, has spread into “civic circles”. Even on the hemp question, the otherwise learn resistant Federal Government acknowledged in the light of developments within the U.S., Portugal and many other countries, that Cannabinoids (Cannabis active ingredients) have indicated a wide spectrum of therapeutic value.

The Hanfparade wants to help break down prejudices against medical Cannabis and thus provides a forum that gives everyone the opportunity to discuss with patients, doctors and pharmaceutical companies about medicinal purposes.

They will also promote the exchange of experiences and networking of the patients themselves. The forum for hemp medicine is the central point of contact for all questions on the topic. Here are speeches, discussions not least a small “pharmaceutical exhibition” about the drug Cannabis as available in Germany to inform on current research.

However, despite clear scientific facts and evidence in the form of countless live, “content” Cannabis patients, hemp is far from receiving the status of being a “perfectly normal” medicinal plant. Whoever wants to use Cannabis as a medicine in Germany, must accept humiliating bureaucratic hurdles and finally have the required finances. The dogma of a drug-free society and fear of “playing down the use of Cannabis” in themselves prevent a rational assessment on the potential of hemp as a remedy.

Without the recent years of binding close friendly relations between organised Cannabis patients, their doctors and Hanfparade the “Forum für Hanfmedizin” (hemp medicine forum) would not be possible.

As a patient receiving cannabis as medicine, you are invited to settle into the patient area’s quiet zone and consume your medicine.

The Hanfparade wants to help to reduce prejudices against cannabis medicine and therefore offers a forum on the Hanfmeile, the rally site of the Hanfparade.

Everyone should have the opportunity to discuss with patients and doctors about medical hemp, its use and political situation. It also wants to promote the exchange of experiences and networking among patients.

Some impressions from the recent years:

During the final hours of the rally visitors are offered plenty of information and entertainment. For this purpose, a big stage and up to 100 information booths will be put in place on the Alexanderplatz.

In the past few decades a huge range of products have emerged for Cannabis consumption and cultivation, (legal-) informations, stoner culture and industrial hemp applications from food over clothing to building materials. This diversity will be shown on the Hanfparade, specifically around the Hemp mile. Cannabis businesses like Grow- and Headshops, manufacturers of various hemp related goods. cosmetic suppliers and legalization activists from far and wide have the possibility to present themselves. You might be lucky and catch a life bong-blowing performance, blowing, not inhaling!

If you would like to book a stand at the final rally please Contact us as soon as possible.

Information stands on Hanfparade

Hanfparade (Hemp Parade) in Berlin will include a covered area that provides information on the variety of the hemp crop. This “industrial hemp area” will offer selected companies the opportunity to receive thousands of visitors, potential business partners and present themselves before the press. A marquee with booths will provide the appropriate framework for their presentations. Display boards inside intend to share basic information about the crop of hemp to men, women and children. A particular eye-catching hemp fashion show will entertain the audience and help realise the marvel of hemp.

The hemp crop show should help dispel the angst of Cannabis. It will span a bow from the millennia of agricultural hemp use to innovative products. 

The Hanf Museum Berlin and the European Industrial Hemp Association (EIHA) are representative of that, past and future. As regional partner the Hanfparade seeks to attain the Hanf-Faser-Fabrik Uckermark, which can report about two decades of legal hemp cultivation. They process hemp fibres into a multitude of building materials like insulation. The Westfalian company Hanf-Zeit specialising in hemp food stuffs, will offer a hands on experience for the audience, giving them the chance to press their own hemp seed oil. The hemp fibre bioplastics by Tecnaro may be the future. Their Arboform has won the European Inventor Award. Along with the hemp industry showing its positive potential, the Hanfparade wants to show how Cannabis prohibition also has detrimental effects on ‘clear headed’ hemp users and that the prohibition bureaucracy is a hindrance to technical innovation. The complete legalisation of the hemp crop would be a milestone on our way to an ecologically sustainable economy.

As in previous years, so as many people as possible will be aware of the Hanfparade and come to Berlin, we need your help. Get active, distribute posters and flyers from the Hanfparade! In Berlin, Germany, and everywhere.

You know of head shops, pubs, clubs and other places near you where you can lay out flyers? Are there walls on your way home that need to be embellished with Hanfparade posters? We hereby call upon you, to go out with a bundle of flyers and/or roll of posters, to inform your neighbourhood about the fact that all signs pointing towards legalisation are here.

In our experience the best poster spots are covered over very quickly. Here we suggest something like a partnership. Find poster spots that you see everyday within a high pedestrian usage area. If the Hanfparade poster has been torn down, defaced or pasted over then make sure that the spot will once again be occupied by a Hanfparade poster. This way the information can be constantly available and seep into peoples consciousness up to the first Saturday in August.

Where are the flyers and posters?

Printed flyers and posters are expected to be available from March on.

Partnership with Deutscher Hanf Verband

You can order flyers and posters in “small amounts” from Deutscher Hanfverband Shop. Large amounts, like 5000 Flyers we will send directly from the printer to you!

Self help with printing

The current flyers and posters to self-print are available for downloading on our website. They are also available to pick up for free during regular opening times from the Hanf Museum in Berlin, or have us send you a package. Send us an email to briefly explain where you can distribute the flyers and posters to bring the information to the people and of course an address. Especially if outside of Germany, we kindly ask for a small donation or funding of the postage but this is not a requirement. The packages are neutrally packed and the sender is “Jakis eV, Mühlendamm 5, 10178 Berlin”.

Where will already be distributed?

We take care of the head and grow shops in Berlin and try to cover as many places in the capital as possible, but we can not be everywhere. Everyone is called upon and demand is everywhere. 🙂 Every city is big enough to house many Hanfparade activists, and the more information spread the better.

Lots of mail order companies place a Hanfparade flyer with each package. Any traders who would also like to participate in this should contact us as quickly as possibly!

The Hanfparade (Hemp Parade) is the most traditional demonstration for the legalization of Cannabis in Germany. Since 1997 it has been held annually in Berlin. The organisation behind the Hanfparade is the registered NGO “Jakis” (Jakis e.V.).

A highlight in the traditional parade of floats will be a big final rally. In the heart of Berlin a stage, an area for agricultural hemp, a forum for hemp medicine plus a colorful fair with 100 hemp stalls shall offer an experience for everyone on the diversity of the plant Cannabis.

To get as much rally members as possible, we make posters and flyers and spread them in whole Germany. Also the stage and electricity costs money… and much more. The largest chunk of the budget will be covered by scene related enterprises. More details on the planning are presented in the complete in-depth event concept.
