This past weekend, I had the absolute pleasure of attending Project Glow in Washington, DC — and let me just say, it was everything. From the music, to the vibes, to the unforgettable mashups, it was a weekend I’ll never forget. This was my third time going to Project Glow. The first year was the first time I had ever attended a Festival Babes meet-up. It was a full circle moment when this year I was asked to come to Project Glow with The Festival Babes and make this year’s meet-up come together. Together we helped turn the city into a glowing celebration of electronic dance music, self-expression, and community.
✨ The Festival Babes Experience
We teamed up with some incredible brands to enhance the festival experience. Our weekend started strong with EDM Finesse, creators of the LED Hydra–the world’s first hydration bag with a built-in customizable LED display. These hydration bags had us literally glowing from the inside out, being not only practical in the heat but also made for the coolest photos and rave fits. Not to mention you can even play games on them! “You got games on your phone?” Nah, we’ve evolved from that with this cool new high-tech festival accessory that also keeps health and hydration in mind.
Another standout collab was with Jing Essentials, the creators of stylish gem earplugs that protect your hearing, provide comfortability, without cramping your festival look. Not only did they help us listen to all our favorite sets safely, but they were also the perfect fashion-forward accessory.
We hosted a Festival Babes meet-up at the EDM Finesse vendor booth, where we connected with beautiful fellow ravers from all over. We mingled, danced, took photos, networked, and just vibed with like-minded souls — truly one of my favorite highlights of the weekend, reminding me of that first time at Project Glow meeting The Festival Babes. I felt so much gratitude to be working with the best female operated EDM influencer marketing network and all the people and opportunities it has led me to.
⚡ Fueled by Ghost Energy & LMNT
Of course, keeping the energy up all weekend takes more than good music and good vibes — enter Ghost Energy Drinks, our go-to fuel source. With their killer flavors and serious stamina boost, Ghost kept us dancing from day to night and back again. And LMNT, a sugar-free electrolyte repletion drink mix aided us in recovery as we hit pre-parties, two whole days of festival sets, and a weekend of after-parties. Talk about an elite combo!
🎶 Festival Sets & Stellar Production
The Project Glow main event delivered in every way. The music? Immaculate. The lineup? A dream. From euphoric house sets to filthy bass drops, every stage had its own magic. The production was top-tier — we’re talking lights, lasers, visuals, and sound systems that made every beat hit just right. And huge shoutout to the vendors and festival staff, who were so kind, organized, and absolutely crucial to making everything run smoothly.
🌙 After Hours, All Weekend Long
The party didn’t stop when the sun went down. We hit up some epic after parties, including shows at Echostage and Soundcheck featuring legends like Tiesto, Subtronics, Noizu, and an unforgettable Odd Mob b2b Kaskade set. DC really gave us endless ways to keep the good vibes flowing all night long.
💡Final Glow Thoughts
Project Glow 2025 was pure magic — a celebration of music, individual style, friendship, and the amazing EDM community. I’m so grateful to have experienced it with The Festival Babes and all our incredible brand partners. If you’ve never been, mark your calendars now — Project Glow 2026 is a must. Trust me, you won’t want to miss it.
Until next year, keep glowing 🌟
