festival culture
Shared celebration lifestyle
Festival culture encompasses the social world surrounding large-scale music and arts festivals—the fashion, rituals, etiquette, and shared experiences that define events like Coachella, Burning Man, or Glastonbury.
It implies a distinct lifestyle aesthetic: flower crowns, body glitter, communal camping, and performative joy.
The term can be neutral or gently mocking: Festival culture has its own dress code.
Critics use it to describe commodified counterculture or hollow authenticity.
