EDC 2016

EDC is an AMAZING festival! If you ever get the chance to go I would highly recommend it! EDC has some of the nicest people you will ever meet. They live by the idea of PLUR (peace love unity respect), everyone is there looking out for each other and it is so easy to make friends if you choose to go by yourself or with a group. It is so easy to just strike up a conversation with people in line about who you are looking forward to seeing and finding out where everyone is from is always interesting.

The worst thing about the festival is the drive there! The drivers are the worst! My boyfriend and I have a running joke that PLUR has no place when driving to and from this festival. There are people driving down the sides of the roads to try and pass traffic jams and then expect to be let back over in the correct lane. It is not uncommon to see a million cops on the way there trying to keep people in their vehicles and making sure everyone gets there safely.

*Tip: Before you leave your hotel on the strip or wherever you are staying over the weekend make sure you go to the bathroom before you leave! It is not uncommon to be stuck in traffic for hours trying to get the the speedway.

*Tip: The best way to beat traffic is to leave around 3p or 7p. if you leave earlier you are most likely to miss the traffic on the way there however you will ABSOLUTELY have to wait in line longer then if you were to leave later. The best thing about leaving at 7p is that you miss the traffic and can usually just walk right through the gates because most people have already gone in at this time.

Similar to Ultra there are multiple stages, however there are many MANY more at EDC.
Below is Main Stage from 2016- This was also their 20 year anniversary!

Just to give you an idea.. I am standing at the very very back of the crowd of roughly 60-70,000 people.
