Hey fellow Ravers,
what's the best thing about summer to a Raver? Right! When the beat drops and you don't have to jump in a big crowd in a small club with stale air, but on a summer meadow next to a magical forest when the sun slowly begins to go down and you all welcome the night together. Hearts and the bass are pumping, people are in a state of bliss and become one big family for a few days and for many hours there's just you and pure freedom.
A parallel world, a paradise of music and colourful decoration, a liberation of your rawest self and an inspiration for body and soul - Festivals!
I am sure almost every Raver's heart will start dancing when they hear this sweet word that makes us electronic music lovers yearning for summer!
And the best thing is: There are some very cool gadgets that make Rave Festivals even better!
Let me show you some of them, that will enchant you and your fellow dancers and party people so you'll have the festival of your life!
1. LED Shoes
Dancing in the dark with LED shoes will enchant everyone around you and they will love to watch you move! Become an active part of the nocturnal decoration!
2. (LED) Holahoop
Hulahoops around a dancing body simply look amazing and mesmerizing!
3. Pois
Pois are spinning tools like (LED) balls on long ropes which you can use for creative dance moves and to increase your fun while flowing to the music. If you buy some with lights inside, people will go crazy on the floor and appreciate your show a LOT
4. Drawing stuff to create amazing memories
Tired feet? Or simply want a little break from dancing? Why not doing something creative like drawing to create some amazing memories? Drawing while listening to music is exremely inspiring to me and sitting next to the floor and making art is pure bliss!
5. Dancing ribbons
Letting dancing/gymnastic ribbons or scarfs flow to the beat is a super beautiful way to express yourself even stronger and make people around you go "WOOOW"
6. Soap bubbles
Who does not love dancing between countless rainbow coloured bubbles?
7. Caleidoscopes
Want to make the amazing decoration even more impressive? Voilá! Caleidoscopes will never disappoint you!
8. Effect glasses
This is somethig very cool I discovered last year on a Psytrance Festival. It looks like glasses or sunglasses and makes some very beautful and magical effects when you look into some light. No matter if it is the sunlight, lightbulbs or LED decoration - everyting will look like stunning rainbow coloured patterns! An amazing highlight by day and night, when the decoration starts to glow!
9. UV paint
How awesome is it to become an active part of the decoration and even glow in the dark? UV paint makes it possible and will blow your fellow Raver's minds!
10. UV Nailpolish/Haircolour
I mean guys...Seriously...Isn't that CRAZY?!
11. Juggling toys such as Devil Sticks/Flower Sticks, juggling balls or juggling clubs
Juggling to the pumping beat - a perfect combination!
12. Other interesting, weird, impressive, inspiring or funny items
There are countless gadgets you can sometimes even buy at the Festivals which make dancing and feeling the beat even better. Be creative and look what makes you flow to the beat in the best way!

Classic stuff. I don't rave anymore, I think the whole movement is dead, but enjoy yours if you find a good one :)
I totally understand what you mean! You really have to look for authentic and non-commercial, but peaceful, magical and good raves. A lot of them are only there to make money and have no spirit. But there can be found some real treasures :)
Thank you very much for your comment! :) <3
All the best!
Ah, to be young and have all the energy :) Those are interesting things to see. It would be awesome to see all of those that you mentioned.
Hey dear @leeart :)
Thank you very much for your nice comment! :)
Raving has no age :) I even danced with a man who was 76 years old :)
I hope you'll experience a lot of wonderful festivals in the future :) Be brave, you'll see it is a wonderful thing for anybody of any age if you like the music :) <3
All the best :)
Looks like I don't understand rave real well haha! It would be great to just get up and dance if you feel like it :D
Don't worry, I also understood what raves really mena when I attended my first one and danced free and wild. :D
It' so awesome, you can just dance, feel free and enjoy life. Age, nationality, religion and more dosen't matter and all become like a big tribe on the floor. Just love it! :)
