It's festival season and there is nothing like an EDM festival.

The people, music, and atmosphere is unlike any other. Every year people from all over come together to experience the music. Everyone should at least try to go to an EDM festival once, even if it isn't their cup of tea.

There is no better way to describe an EDM festival other then, you had to be there.

1. PLUR

Peace, Love, Unity, and Respect. This acronym is used by ravers at festivals to support each other throughout the experience.

2. Costumes

Whether it's fuzzy boots, flower crowns, or glitter; there is something exciting about assembling your outfit leading up to the festival.

3. Squad

Always have a good group of friends to enhance your experience and keep the good vibes flowing throughout the day.

4. Stage Display

It takes weeks to put together the various types of stages for a festival. Don't forget to check out and appreciate the stage while your there.

5. Music

The main reason to rave and rage at a festival! Seeing and hearing your favorite EDM artist live is definitely a game changer.

6. Light shows

The different lights and lasers used during a set transforms the way you see and feel the music.

7. Dancing

An EDM festival usually lasts more than one day, so bring comfortable shoes to dance all day and night.

8. Being on someone's shoulders

This might be a weird concept, but many artists will ask for girls to get on a guy's shoulders during their set. If your comfortable enough and a guy asks you, go for it. You get a whole different view and can see the whole crowd; great for taking pictures too.

9. Silent Disco

Not all festivals have a silent disco, but if you are at one that does; try it. You get a pair of headphones that connects to the dj's set and all other noises are blocked out. It is like you are in your own little world because the people passing by cannot hear what you are listening to.

10. EDM is NOT about drugs

You do not need to use drugs to have a good time at an EDM festival. You should be there to have a positive experience and enjoy the music and surroundings.

11. Kandi

Yes, that is kandi with a K and no you don't eat it. This type of Kandi is beaded bracelets that you share with other fellow ravers using PLUR to trade from wrist to wrist to show you are enjoying their company.

12. Memories

With all the videos and pictures you will be taking, make sure you bring a portable charger for your phone to make those memories last. Capture the moments, but also make sure you vibe in real time with the people around you.
