One of the main contributors to an unforgettable summer is the music that comes along with it. Whether you are on the beach, out with friends or on your commute to work, music is essential to making summer days the best days. Summer is just around the corner, and although it’s both exciting and sad to leave friends behind when you return home, music festivals throughout the summer will always give you an adventure to look forward to.
Firefly, June 20-23
Firefly music festival never fails to be an unforgettable weekend. This year, Panic! At the Disco, Travis Scott and Post Malone will be headlining and blasting their hits throughout the Woodlands of Dover, Delaware. Other performers include Tyler The Creator, Zedd, Kygo, Death Cab for Cutie, Passion Pit, Vampire Weekend, DJ Snake and many more. The three-day music fest is unlike most as it provides an immersive camping experience from Friday to Sunday. You can bring your own camping supplies, choose to “Glamp” (stay in an air-conditioned tent with beds provided,) choose a pre-set tent, bring an RV or book a hotel nearby. Food trucks galore and dancing in the sunshine with your friends makes Firefly an adventure you won’t want to miss.
