How Do You Make Friends at a Music Festival: 7 Magic Ways

Before diving into any of the advice given, it’s so important to say that you truly do receive what is given. Be yourself, be genuine and enjoy spending time with others and you will be so surprised about the positive energy that you receive in return!

Keep Fantastic Snacks On You

When I was in Kindergarten, I always remember that during snack-time, I was the king of the playground because while everyone else had stale crackers and celery, I had Pop-Secret’s Popcorn that my teacher warmed up in the microwave. Everyone enjoyed my popcorn so much and I enjoyed giving it away to others as well!

I do this now at festivals. I keep nuts, multigrain bars, dates and other snacks on me always to make sure that if someone looks like they can use a bite to eat, it does not hurt to offer it to them!

Hang at the Biergarten

If you’re 21, the easiest way to make friends is to simply be around other social people. All multi-day festivals have a biergarten where you can enjoy a drink and sit at a communal table. In such a social space, someone will absolutely ask to join you at the table and at that moment you have an connection with another person!

Make Kandi

Engage with the culture! Here are always plenty of tent’s set-up by festival organizers to make and share KANDI in the PLUR society. It also doesn’t hurt to come with your own. Sharing and trading Kandi and asking the story on others’ special Kandi is a great way to connect with others and allow good energy to flow. Making Kandi beforehand is simple, and trading Kandi is as simple as walking up to someone and asking if they have any that they would like to trade!

Wear Outfits that Represent You

Raves and music festivals are the time to show out! You can enjoy your time and wear an outfit that truly represents who you are whether you are a girl or a guy! Enjoy yourself, wear bright colors, wear a ton of layers or none. No one judges, and the more you express yourself, the more that you can tell who you are to others about yourself.

Wear your Favorite DJ Merchandise

You have been waiting for a year now to break out the Rezz glasses and oversized T-shirt. Wear it in all its glory! Enjoy the compliments that you will get, and you will most definitely bump into others with similar tastes in music.

Volunteer for a Show

Give volunteering a try! Not only do you get a free ticket, but you also meet like-minded people that care about keeping the earth clean and minimizing our carbon footprint. It is a great way to engage with the community and give back to those who have given you so much.

Dispense Good Energy

Give good energy to others. It will come back. Here are 5 ways to give energy to others.

  • Compliment someone
  • Pay for the person’s meal behind you
  • Create and give Kandi away
  • Smile (Ever walked down the street and seen someone’s genuinely smile? (You smile too!)
  • (Over)Tip a bartender
