Among the many things we’ve missed dearly, dancing our hearts out is a big one, right? In recent years, party enthusiasts have been on the hunt for safe and legal ways to get that happiness boost. Forget secret and illegal raves; let’s explore what’s working now as of mid-2021. Times have changed, but simple isn’t necessarily better. Here’s how the party scene is adapting to our current reality.
**Pod Raves**
These events take place outdoors in large open areas. Fenced-off dance areas are set up and booked under specific conditions. Usually, the people in each pod are from the same household or indoor space, keeping everyone as safe as possible. Whether there’s a live set or a big screen showing rave visuals, dancing under the stars during a pandemic is a unique experience.
**Vertical Raves**
This type of event is often held at hotels, where you book a room with a balcony overlooking a centralized open area. A stage is set up in that space, and music is played as people enjoy from their balconies, safely apart but sharing a memorable experience.
**Drive-In ‘Park ‘n Rave’ Parties**
Imagine a drive-in theater, but for raves. You park your car and enjoy the event from there, and each vehicle also gets a designated outdoor spot where you can dance. Clearly marked parking spaces ensure safety, and since drinking and driving are prohibited, people usually stay overnight and head home when they’re good to drive.
**Virtual Rave Events**
While alternatives like pod and vertical raves are popping up in urban areas, some places still rely on virtual parties. Throughout the pandemic, countless virtual rave events have taken place online. Just settle in with a good vibe and a strong internet connection. Whether free or ticketed, these events stream worldwide, bringing ravers together online.
**The Show Must Go On!**
Even challenging times can’t dampen our spirits. The rave scene pushes forward, offering a way to let off some steam after a tough stretch. We invite you to embrace the culture, with fierce rave outfits and camaraderie with fellow party lovers. Rave culture is about community and not taking life too seriously.
