Among the countless things we’ve missed dearly, dancing the night away really stands out, doesn’t it? Over the past few years, party enthusiasts have been on the hunt for safe ways to get that much-needed serotonin boost, showing amazing creativity in the process. Now that secret and illegal raves are behind us, what are the safe, legal, and well-organized options for partying as of mid-2021?
Admittedly, organizing events isn’t as straightforward as it once was before the pandemic. However, simplicity is often overrated. Here’s a look at how the party, festival, and rave scene is adapting to our current reality.
So, how are we hitting the dance floor these days?
**POD RAVES**
Pod raves are held outdoors in large open areas, where separate, fenced-off dance spots are set up and need to be booked under certain conditions. Each spot can accommodate different numbers of people based on the organizer’s guidelines, usually those who live together or share an indoor space daily, minimizing risk. In front of these dance pods, a live performer plays or a big screen showcases an audio-visual rave experience. So, picture this: dancing, shouting, and clubbing under the stars during a pandemic—challenge accepted!
**VERTICAL RAVES**
Vertical raves typically take place at hotels, where guests book a room with a balcony overlooking an open space. In this area, a stage is set for music and entertainment, while each balcony becomes a mini-club, maintaining safe distances but sharing the excitement and a unique vibe, creating an unforgettable experience.
**DRIVE-IN “PARK ‘N RAVE” PARTIES**
Have you ever been to a drive-in movie? Whether you have or not, you know the setup—park your car and enjoy the show. In park ‘n rave events, each car has an additional designated outdoor space for dancing. Parking areas are clearly marked, ensuring boundaries for a safe night of dancing. Drinking and driving are strictly prohibited, so attendees usually stay overnight and leave in the morning when it’s safe to drive.
**VIRTUAL RAVE EVENTS**
These alternatives are booming in cities that love raving. However, there are still many places globally where virtual parties remain the only option. During the pandemic, hundreds of online raves emerged. All you need is a good mood and a reliable internet connection. Free or ticketed, these events are streamed globally while performers entertain and ravers connect in real-time. Because, let’s face it, a virtual rave is better than no rave at all.
