How to Go to a Rave

Raves, or all night parties, can be a great experience for someone looking to socialize, dance and party all night in an open environment. There are many different types of rave music and venues which can influence the experience, so a little background on rave culture can go a long way.

      Find out about raves in your area. Even though rave culture was born in big cities like London, today there are raves in all kinds of places. Check at coffee shops, vintage clothing stores and music concerts for fliers advertising upcoming local raves to get an idea of what's out there.

      Decide what kind of rave you want to attend. The biggest decision is between legal raves, which are very similar to nightclubs or concerts, and illegal raves, which are put on without legal permits. Raves are also divided into music types such as electronic, trance and house music.

      Buy your tickets before you arrive to save money. Tickets purchased in advance are significantly cheaper than those bought at the door. There is usually an advertised phone number to call which will provide you with a time and place to buy advance tickets.

      Arrange transportation before you go. Many times, rave venues are in distant or isolated locations, so ensuring that you have a ride home from the party is very important.

      Dress the part with colorful clothes and glow sticks. A rave is a modern carnival where people use edgy clothes and flashy accessories to express themselves. Although you certainly don't have to dress a certain way, it might help you get into the party mood.

Tips & Warnings

  • Some people who attend raves use drugs and alcohol so use caution and judgment when accepting a ride from someone to or from the rave.

  • If you choose to attend an illegal rave and the party gets busted, there's a chance you might be detained by authorities or even arrested, especially if drugs or underage drinking are involved. Know what you're getting into.
