Among the many things we’ve come to miss, dancing the night away is definitely a big one. Over the past few years, party enthusiasts have been on the hunt for ways to get their serotonin boost, often tapping into their creativity to keep the vibe alive. Now, as we move past secret and illegal gatherings, let’s explore the safe, legal, and well-organized ways to party in 2021.
Things aren’t as straightforward as they used to be before the pandemic, but simplicity can be overrated. Here’s a look at how the party, festival, and rave scene has adapted to our current situation.
So, how are we partying these days?
**Pod Raves**: Held outdoors in large open spaces, pod raves feature separate fenced-in areas that you can book under certain conditions. Each pod can host different numbers of people, typically those who live together or frequently share indoor spaces, to maintain safety. In front of these pods, you might find live performances or large screens displaying the full rave experience. Dancing under the stars during a pandemic? Achievement unlocked!
**Vertical Raves**: Usually hosted at hotels, attendees book rooms with balconies facing an open space where music plays. This setup allows people to enjoy a safe, socially distanced party while sharing a unique vibe from their terraces.
**Drive-in “Park ‘n Rave” Parties**: Similar to drive-in movie theaters, you park your car in a designated spot and enjoy the party from there. However, these events include an extra outdoor area next to your vehicle where you can step out and dance. While drinking and driving are strictly prohibited, guests are often encouraged to spend the night and leave the next day when it’s safe to drive.
**Virtual Rave Events**: In many places, virtual parties are still the only option to connect with other ravers. Hundreds of virtual raves have been organized online, allowing people to join the party from anywhere with a good mood and a stable internet connection. Whether free or ticketed, these events let performers and partiers interact through audio and video. After all, a virtual rave is better than no rave at all!
**The Show Must Go On!**: Despite challenging times, our spirits remain unbroken! At the fashion boutique of the ravers, the party never stops. Blowing off some steam is important, especially after all we’ve been through. We offer bold rave outfits and inspiration to vibe with fellow party enthusiasts because rave isn’t just a party—it’s a culture, a community, and a philosophy of not taking life too seriously.
