Raves are large dance parties featuring DJ performances and occasionally live performers playing electronic music, particularly genres like house, trance, and drum and bass. These events often take place in unique locations, such as warehouses, outdoor fields, or nightclubs, and are known for their vibrant atmosphere, colorful lights, and elaborate visual effects. Raves typically attract a diverse crowd of people who come together to enjoy music, dance, and a sense of community. While some raves are organized legally, others may be underground events. Safety and harm reduction practices are important topics within the rave culture, especially concerning the use of substances.
