music festivals

Multi-day live events

Music festivals are large-scale events where multiple musical acts perform over one or more days, typically outdoors.

They range from genre-specific gatherings like jazz or bluegrass festivals to massive multi-genre events drawing tens of thousands: We're camping at the music festival this weekend.

The term evokes not just concerts but a broader cultural experience—food vendors, art installations, and communal atmosphere.
