Pandemic-Era Raves: Reimagining Drive-Ins, Vertical Events, Pods & Beyond

With everything that’s been happening, dancing and letting loose is definitely something many of us miss. Over the last couple of years, party enthusiasts got creative in finding ways to enjoy themselves safely. Now, as of mid-2021, there are safe, legal, and well-organized options to have a good time, moving away from secret and illegal gatherings.

So, how are we partying these days?

**Pod Raves:** These outdoor events take place in large open areas where people dance in fenced-off sections, which must be pre-booked. Each section can accommodate a certain number of people, usually those who live together, to ensure safety. A live performer or a screen with an audiovisual setup keeps the party vibes going. Imagine clubbing under the stars during a pandemic—mission accomplished!

**Vertical Raves:** These raves happen at hotels, where participants book rooms with balconies facing a central stage area. Music plays from the stage while people party on their balconies, allowing for a unique and safe experience with everyone at proper distances.

**Drive-In “Park ‘N Rave” Parties:** If you’re familiar with drive-in theaters, you’ll get the idea. You park your car and enjoy the event from there, but with these parties, there’s space around your car for you to get out and dance. While you enjoy the night, remember that drinking and driving is a big no-no, so attendees often stay overnight to ensure they’re safe to drive home in the morning.

**Virtual Rave Events:** Despite the growing popularity of in-person events in cities, virtual parties remain a key option worldwide. With just the right mood and a reliable internet connection, you can join these global gatherings, some free and others ticketed. Performers do their thing as ravers connect online to share the experience. Because let’s face it, a virtual rave is better than no rave at all, right?
