RE: What an amazing experience

awesome! ya I know a lot of folks who do the festival "circuit" through the summer, traveling through multiple states hitting up festival after festival. Some people go to close to 30 by the end of Oct! Its pretty insane. The most I've done in a summer is 10 and that wiped me OUT! I've never been to Electric Forest, but its def on my list of go to's! I have a couple friends who fly out every year and go to that one, and I hear its pretty epic!

Sort:  

30 days of festivals? That is crazy. I wouldn't be able to last that long. That's gotta be super expensive too. Memories are worth more than money to me at this point though so hopefully crypto explodes soon so my wife and I can do it.

A lot of people volunteer so they can go to the festivals for free actually! I volunteer or live paint(which is considered like dj/vendors). I haven't paid for a festival ticket since 2016, but I go to multiple festivals every summer! When I volunteer, its usually 3 to 4 shifts of 4 hours each, then the rest of the weekend is yours to enjoy. Another plus side is you get in a day early (premo camp spots) and if you volunteer, sometimes they feed you too which saves even more money. It's possible without much money, but there is a bit of sacrifice to it in terms of giving up some time. But honestly, integrating yourself into the community like that with volunteering is so worth it! You meet so many amazing people that way and you feel accomplished and full that you helped make that fest stay on its feet and helped keep it going (because without volunteers a lot of fests would not flow well). All the best to your and your wife! Maybe I'll see ya guys at a fest someday soon ;)

That is awesome
