There are so many things we miss these days, but dancing like there’s no tomorrow is definitely one of the toughest losses. Over the past few years, party enthusiasts have tried all sorts of creative ways to get that much-needed serotonin boost. Now that secret and unauthorized raves are behind us, how can we enjoy safe, legal, and well-organized parties in 2021?
Even though planning events isn’t as straightforward as before the pandemic, “simple” is overrated anyway. Here’s a look at the new ways that parties, festivals, and raves are adapting to meet the current situation.
How are folks partying these days?
**Pod Raves**
Pod raves take place outdoors in large, open areas. They feature individual fenced-in dance spots that need to be reserved ahead of time. Each spot can accommodate different groups, usually people who live together or share indoor space, ensuring safety. These pods often have either a live performer or a big screen providing an audio-visual rave experience. So yes, you can still rock out under the stars, pandemic and all!
**Vertical Raves**
Vertical raves typically happen at hotels. Here, guests book rooms with balconies facing an open central area. A stage is set up, and each balcony fills with people enjoying the music, safely distanced from one another. This setup not only ensures safety but also creates a unique and memorable experience.
**Drive-In “Park ‘N Rave” Parties**
Think of a drive-in movie, but for raves. You park your car and have an additional outdoor area where you can step out and dance. Specially marked parking spots keep the party organized and safe. And remember, no drinking and driving—guests usually spend the night and leave the next day once they’re good to drive.
**Virtual Rave Events**
While the above options are getting popular in cities and cultures that love raving, virtual parties are still the main choice in some places. Throughout the pandemic, countless online rave parties were organized. All you need is a good vibe and stable internet. Whether free or requiring a ticket, these events bring performers and ravers together through audio and video connections.
Because, let’s face it, a virtual rave is better than no rave at all, right?
**The Party Continues!**
Even tough times can’t bring our spirits down! The rave scene is still alive, offering the chance to let off some steam. Style up with bold rave outfits, get inspired, and mingle with other party lovers. Raving is more than just a party; it’s a culture, a community, a mindset. Ready to explore all the options?
