How modern festival culture shapes our joy and connection
I finally made it to a massive music event last summer that seemed to run almost non‑stop, and I was blown away by how different it felt from the small concerts I’d been to before. We showed up in the morning and didn’t leave until the next day, and even when I got exhausted there was still this buzz in the air that kept everyone smiling and chatting. I kept thinking about how this vibe differs from just going out for a few hours, and whether the way these events are organized now has a deeper impact on how we connect with people and music.
