Zurich authorities released official statistics following the 33rd Street Parade, reporting 906 medical treatments and 30 arrests during the event attended by approximately 900,000 people. We Rave You reported that emergency medics primarily addressed cuts, grazes, and alcohol-related issues amid a weekend heatwave that increased pressure on response teams.
Schutz und Rettung Zürich scaled up operations with 400 additional staff, six first-aid stations, 13 extra ambulances, and support boats on Lake Zurich, according to the source. While reports of altercations and assaults rose during evening hours, no attendees sustained serious injuries, the outlet noted. Police made arrests for theft, drug trafficking, assault, and violations of the Foreign Nationals and Integration Act.
Law enforcement also confiscated over 50 grams of amphetamine, more than 40 grams of ketamine, around 20 grams of cocaine, and over 100 ecstasy tablets, We Rave You stated. These seizure figures align with substance-use trends observed at other major European electronic music events this summer. The free open-air techno spectacle traversed the Lake Zurich route, continuing its status as one of the world’s largest electronic gatherings.
