Upon looking in the history books for one festival after another you’ll find that there have been many throughout the history of the US alone, some that have been discontinued and some that have been and still are popular among the people. The Electric Daisy Carnival has throughout the years been known as a global festival that is popular for its music, dance, and the wide scope of events that are hosted by this gathering. Surprisingly though it’s not all that old since it started up in 1997 as little more than a warehouse party in Los Angeles, a get-together that wasn’t likely to become anything too big but somehow sparked an interest in the many attendees. The CEO, Pasquale Rotella, no doubt saw the potential and since that time it has expanded into an international event that attracts millions of fans every year and takes place on four different continents worldwide.
The festival tends to run for days and is an event that stretches the boundaries of the imagination and continues to set new standards within the live entertainment industry, through the incorporation of different themes and popular attractions. The kind of talent this festival gathers tends to be top of the line and it’s been seen to be a haven for innovation in both art and technology as well. In many ways this is more than just a festival to celebrate any one thing, it’s multi-sensory event that’s set up to expand the mind and blow the senses into the stratosphere. For some it’s a way of life as they follow the festival wherever it might go and are bound and determined to see any and every new idea that might come out of the event in a given year. The flagship of the festival has been moved to Las Vegas in recent years, where it’s become the largest dance music festival across the continent of North America. It’s also been held in Mexico, Florida, and Japan just to name a few other places.
It essentially started as a rave since it was typical back in the day to gather a party through word of mouth and flyers that were handed out to people that others thought might be interested in going, and of course weren’t NARC’s that would spoil the fun. Of course the gatherings did get busted up now and again for various reasons so it’s not too surprising that someone would finally find a way to make it legal and above-board so that people could continue to have their fun and not worry about getting hassled or picked up by the police for taking part in an unauthorized good time. You can imagine that it costs a little bit to get into this event and you wouldn’t be wrong, plus it’s the type of event that you’re going to want to be in town for a few days since it’s almost impossible to take it all in within a single night or day. The EDC is something that you have to immerse yourself in, to get in there and really let yourself go wild and feel your mind expand in a dozen different directions before you can honestly say that you’ve seen it and done it all.
Getting to the festival and finding a place to stay is likely the most work you’ll be doing in an attempt to attend, but the tickets are going to typically run you around $300+ per person and in some cases you absolutely have to buy a 3-day pass. It’s not the cheapest festival in the world to attend but it’s definitely one of the most mind-boggling events a person could ever attend since there’s just so much to see and do that trying to get it all in one go is next to impossible. But if you’ve got the funds and the time the festival does continue on, coming to various locations up until early November of this current year. That ought to be enough to get a lot of people to see if they can make at least one or more shows, barring the expenses of course.
Out of all the festivals in the world that might blow you away this is one that seems intent on doing that in a variety of ways and while putting a huge smile on your face at the same time. The EDC is a playground for adults that just want to come and have a good time and enjoy a sense of community, harmony, and a place where they can simply cut loose and lay back while enjoying the various shows and events that are being offered for their continual entertainment. It’s the type of festival you come to see and experience without any thought other than to enjoy what’s there and be grateful for the experience.
