Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC) 2014

It’s almost here people! The biggest EDM festival in the country, is finally on it’s way to two of my favorite places: NY and Las Vegas. EDC started in 1997 with it’s first rave being at the Shrine Expo Hall in LA. Founded by Insomniac Events, EDC was held in many different cities in California during it’s early years of business. 16 years later and here we are. The electric daisy carnival has upgraded over the years and is now one of the most spectacular music festivals there is. In 2010, it became the largest music festival outside of Europe, filling the house at its event in LA. In 2009, Insomniac brought the event to Puerto Rico and there have been many other cities in the United States they have brought the event to as well. The event has been held in states such as California, Colorado, Florida, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, and Texas. As of 2013, the remaining list of locations includes, New York City, NY, Mexico, US, Chicago,IL, Las Vegas,NV, Dallas,TX, Orlando, FL, San Juan, Puerto Rico, London, UK, and Mexico City, Mexico.  It began as a one day event but in 2009, it expanded to a 2-day event and in 2011, the Las Vegas event lasted 3 days and still does. The EDC NY Event was held in New Jersey in 2012 for the first time. It is now held in New York City, NY.

I’m excited for this and you should be too. Although, it is already sold out, you will still be able to marvel at the magnificence it brings.  It’s Vegas! The place where people go and leave their inhibitions at the door. What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas, right? I may not be the first to say this but, What happens at EDC stays at EDC and the fact that this event is held in Vegas only helps that phrase along. If you ever decide to go to an EDC event, be prepared for things like

Fun, fun, fun!
Fun, fun, fun!

Well I think you get it now.
Just imagine going to a carnival mixed with loud speakers and bass and DJ’s and food and drinks and drugs (be careful!) and the prettiest lights you will have ever seen. That is what this event is all about. You can see from the pictures that this event is a dream come true and tons of amazing fun. To everyone who is already planning on going, I hope you have the time of your lives! I hope to be going to one as well. One day.
