We’ve all been missing a lot of things lately, and letting loose on the dance floor is definitely one of them. Over the past few years, party enthusiasts have been on the lookout for safe and clever ways to get that serotonin boost. The days of sneaking into underground parties are behind us, but what are the safe and legitimate ways to party as of mid-2021?
Things aren’t quite as straightforward as they were before the pandemic. But let’s face it—simplicity is overrated. Here’s a breakdown of how the party and rave scene is adapting to our current reality.
**Pod Raves**
Pod raves take place outdoors in large, open areas where fenced-off spaces are set up and pre-booked. Each pod can accommodate a varying number of people, typically those who already live or spend time together to ensure safety. In front of these pods, you’ll find either a live performer or a big screen projecting the rave experience, allowing party-goers to enjoy the music under the stars—pandemic style!
**Vertical Raves**
Vertical raves usually happen at hotels. Here, revelers book rooms with balconies that overlook a central open space where a stage is set up. Music plays as people out on their terraces enjoy the scene. This setup ensures social distancing and safety while still providing a memorable party vibe.
**Drive-In “Park ’N Rave” Parties**
Think of a drive-in movie theater, but for raves. You park your car and enjoy the show with additional outdoor space to step out and dance. Each spot is clearly marked, giving guests room to move around safely. Just remember, drinking and driving aren’t allowed, so attendees are encouraged to stay the night and leave when it’s safe to drive in the morning.
**Virtual Rave Events**
While many have embraced in-person alternatives, virtual rave events remain popular worldwide. These online parties allow people to join the fun from home with just a stable internet connection and the right mood. Whether free or ticketed, these events can be streamed globally, connecting people through shared audio and video as performers bring the music to life.
After all, a virtual rave is better than no rave at all, right?
**The Party Continues**
Even in tough times, our spirits can’t be shaken! In the world of rave fashion, the energy never stops. Letting off steam is essential, especially after everything we’ve been through. With the right outfit and the company of fellow party lovers, you can embrace the rave culture, community, and philosophy of not taking life too seriously.
