Among the countless things we miss, dancing with abandon is definitely at the top of the list, right? Over the past couple of years, party enthusiasts have been on the hunt for ways to get that much-needed serotonin boost, often getting quite creative in the process. But now, as we move past secret and illegal raves, what are the safe, legal, and well-organized ways to have fun in mid-2021?
Things aren’t as straightforward as they were before the pandemic, but who said simple is always better? Here’s a look at how parties, festivals, and raves are adapting to our current situation.
**Pod Raves**
Pod raves take place outdoors in large open areas, where separate fenced-in dance spots are set up and can be pre-booked. These spots can accommodate different numbers of people based on the organizer’s rules, usually those who live together or share indoor spaces regularly, to keep everyone safe. In front of these pods, there’s either a live performer or a big screen creating a rave atmosphere. So, yes, you can still scream, shout, and dance under the stars during a pandemic!
**Vertical Raves**
Vertical raves are usually held at hotels, where guests book rooms with balconies overlooking an open space. A stage is set up in this space, and music plays while people enjoy the vibe from their terraces, safely distanced from each other. This setup ensures safety while offering a unique and memorable experience.
**Drive-In “Park ‘n Rave” Parties**
If you’ve been to a drive-in movie, you know the drill: park your car and enjoy the show. At park ‘n rave events, each car is given an extra outdoor space for dancing. Parking spots are clearly marked to show how far you can go while dancing the night away. Of course, drinking and driving is a no-go, so guests are encouraged to stay overnight and leave when it’s safe to drive.
**Virtual Rave Events**
While the above options are gaining popularity in cities and rave-loving cultures, virtual parties remain the only option in many places. Throughout the pandemic, hundreds of virtual raves have been hosted online. All you need is the right mood and a good internet connection. Whether free or ticketed, these events are streamed worldwide, with performers playing live and ravers connecting via audio and video. After all, a virtual rave is better than no rave at all, right?
