Among the many things we’ve missed, letting loose and dancing is certainly at the top of the list, isn’t it? Over the past couple of years, party enthusiasts have been on the hunt for creative ways to get that much-needed serotonin boost. Beyond secret or illegal gatherings, there are now safe, legal, and well-organized ways to enjoy a good time as of mid-2021.
Things aren’t as straightforward as they were before the pandemic hit, but perhaps that’s not such a bad thing. Simplicity, after all, is often overrated. Here’s a look at how the world of parties, festivals, and raves is adapting to our current situation:
**Pod Raves**
Pod raves take place outdoors in large open areas, where separate fenced-off dancing spots are set up and can be pre-booked. The number of people allowed in each spot depends on the event’s rules, typically including those who live together or share indoor spaces to ensure safety. Each pod has a live performer or a large screen broadcasting a rave atmosphere, making it possible to enjoy a night of dancing under the stars during a pandemic.
**Vertical Raves**
These unique parties are hosted at hotels, where guests book rooms with balconies overlooking an open space. A stage is set up below, with music playing while clubbers enjoy the show from their terraces. This vertical setup guarantees safe distancing and provides a memorable experience.
**Drive-In “Park ‘n Rave” Parties**
If you’ve ever been to a drive-in movie, you can imagine the setup. You park your car and enjoy the event from your vehicle, plus there’s an extra space for dancing around your designated spot. Though enjoying yourself is encouraged, drinking and driving is a big no-no, so guests usually stay overnight and head home the next morning when it’s safe to drive.
**Virtual Rave Events**
While the other rave options are gaining traction, virtual parties remain the only choice in many parts of the world. Countless virtual raves have been launched during the pandemic, where all you need is the right vibe and a reliable internet connection. Whether they’re free or require tickets, these events bring people together globally, allowing performers to play their sets and ravers to connect online. After all, a virtual rave is better than no rave at all, right?
**The Show Must Go On!**
Despite challenging times, our spirits remain unshaken. The rave scene continues with its vibrant outfits and lively community. It’s all about having fun and not taking life too seriously. So, are you ready to explore all these exciting possibilities? Keep up with our updates, as there’s much more to share and plenty of adventures to enjoy!
