How social and digital connections shape music festival community
I’ve been thinking a lot about how different festivals feel compared to just going to a concert, especially when you’re with a wide range of people you’ve never met before. Last time I went to a weekend music festival with some friends, it was amazing how quickly everyone started chatting, sharing food, swapping playlists, and taking photos together — even people from completely different places. It made me wonder if there’s something about being in that mix of sound, crowd, and social energy that builds a real sense of music festival community that sticks with you long after the event ends.
