Among the many things we’ve missed lately, dancing the night away stands out the most, doesn’t it? Over the past couple of years, party enthusiasts have been on the hunt for a safe way to get that much-needed serotonin boost, often going to creative lengths. So, as of mid-2021, what are the safe, legal, and organized ways to enjoy a party?
Things aren’t as straightforward as they were before the pandemic. But then again, simplicity is often overrated. Here’s a look at how the party, festival, and rave scene is adapting to our current times.
So, how are we partying now?
**Pod Raves**
Pod raves take place in large outdoor spaces where separate fenced-off areas for dancing are set up and reserved under specific conditions. These spaces can vary in size, accommodating different group numbers depending on the organizer’s rules. Typically, these are people who share a household or indoor space in their everyday lives, making it safer for everyone. Each pod usually faces a live performer or a big screen broadcasting a rave vibe. So, under the stars, during a pandemic, you can still shout, dance, and enjoy music together!
**Vertical Raves**
Vertical raves are often hosted at hotels, where attendees reserve a room with a balcony overlooking an open space. A stage is set up in this space, and music fills the air as people enjoy the festivities from their balconies, safely distanced. This setup ensures proper distancing and safety while providing a unique, memorable experience.
**Drive-In “Park ‘N Rave” Parties**
Think of a drive-in movie theater, but with a twist. At these legally approved park ‘n rave events, you park your car and enjoy music from either inside or just outside your vehicle. Special areas ensure safe distancing, with clear boundaries marked for how far you can go. Drinking and driving are strictly forbidden, so guests are encouraged to stay overnight and leave the next morning when it’s safe to do so.
**Virtual Rave Events**
While the alternatives above are gaining popularity in cities known for their rave culture, virtual parties remain the go-to option in many places worldwide. Throughout the pandemic, numerous virtual rave parties have been hosted online. All you need is the right vibe and a decent internet connection. These events, whether free or ticketed, are streamed globally, allowing performers and attendees to connect through audio and video. After all, a virtual rave beats no rave at all, doesn’t it?
