If there’s anything that Americans know how to do right: it’s party. After going through a pandemic, and some of the most stressful years this country has seen in a while, we’re all ready to cut loose and enjoy ourselves.
These are some of the best festivals and festivities you can find in the country and are each an awesome experience to go to!
South By Southwest
South By Southwest is an awesome music, gaming, and technology festival held in Austin, Texas, every year. This massive event calls in hundreds of thousands of people and is a major party for everyone.
So whether you’re more interested in gaming or you want to hear the latest bands and live musicians out there: this is an awesome festival to get away to.
Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival
If you’re driving out from San Francisco apartments, this might not seem like a big deal: but people travel from all around the world to attend Coachella every year. This huge annual music and arts festival has been running for several years and isn’t slowing down any time soon.
Coachella is an awesome place to see the most recent musical performances, some of the best outfits and fashion that you’ll catch anywhere in the world, and some of the best parties anyone can join. However, tickets can cost between five hundred to five thousand dollars and sell out quickly: so this is a trip you want to plan.
Fantasy Fest
If you’re not looking for a music festival, Fantasy Fest has something else you can enjoy! This huge costumed event allows people to dress up in costumes of famous characters or people and even has some people wandering around in body paint for the whole week.
This party is a great gathering, and although it does have musicians who come to perform, it’s not the main thing that Fantasy Fest is about.
Lollapalooza
Another awesome music festival, Lollapalooza, is a Chicago musician’s dream that lasts three days every year. Offering the chance to party, listen to multiple musicians based on where you are in the festival, and getting to know other partiers, makes this a great place to go.
With top names like Childish Gambino and Ariana Grande partying and performing, you know that this is one of the most popular musical destinations in the country. This is another festival that you’ll want to plan for since tickets sell out almost instantly.
Electric Zoo Festival
If you’re ever in New York in early September: keep an eye out for the Electric Zoo Festival. This festival is one of the biggest electronica fests globally, gathering tons of international DJs and live acts that will get your heart racing. Although it’s not as well known as other festivals on this list, internationally, this is an incredibly popular festival to brag about attending.
Festivals are a great way to get to know people with similar interests and have an excuse to travel to watch performers or have fun. If you want to cut loose for a while, consider any of these festivals as your destination!
