- [The Secrets of Sound 👽🛸](https://thefestivalbabes.com/the-secrets-of-sound-%f0%9f%91%bd%f0%9f%9b%b8/): Written by: Josee Wolfe I have been saving all of my words for this blog… Sound Haven was so much more than an indescribable experience – it was an earth-kissed spiritual journey. I always heard of Jaceland being a magical place, finally seeing it myself gave me a whole new perspective of festivals. This rare, one-of-a-kind event takes place in Whitwell, Tennessee – tucked deep back in the woods, Sacred Hive completely submerges you in mother nature. The connection was instant upon arrival. This was my first Sound Haven, and first smaller festival. Can I just say…I was shown BEYOND […]

I had been listening to Skrillex since middle school, but I had no idea that there were entire weekends dedicated to the kind of music I’d blast in my headphones during first period. I remember feeling like I’d discovered electricity when I found out about festivals. Something lit up inside me. “What!? They play music ALL weekend long? What else happens? What do people wear? Where do I find one?” I recall flooding my friend Micah with my […]

Nestled deep in the forests and mountains of Artemas, Pennsylvania, Big Dub offers something truly rare: a chance to disconnect from the everyday and reconnect with nature, music, and each other. This year, we had the absolute pleasure of experiencing Big Dub in style. Thanks to the Big Dub team, we were lucky enough to be set up with glamping tents, which made our entire weekend SO much smoother.

Dirtybird Campout x Northern Nights wasn’t just a festival, it was a full-blown transformational experience. A one-of-a-kind blend of summer camp chaos and EDM magic, wrapped up in a shimmering, soul-soothing PLUR bow. It genuinely shifted the way I’ll perceive festivals forever.

This is a well known airplane house located in Hillsboro, Oregon. In 1999, Bruce Campbell, […]
