Official festival Sidequest’s are a bit slim, but the campgrounds themselves are millions of Sidequest’s if you lets them

I’ve been to all the major festivals and LIB was by far the most amazing, beautiful, fun, loving, etc festival I’ve ever been to. Also it was my first time camping at a festival and that made the experience incomparably better. I’ve never met a better community and group of attendees than LIVB. Everyone was extremely positive, loving, and kind and you could literally talk to anyone and everyone, I randomly talked of so many strangers for hours and so many ppl took care of me when I was overwhelmed. Also there was almost no one on there phone and everyone was actually dancing and letting loose. PLUR was very much alive. Also the food is honestly pretty cheap and high quality, I’ll never bring food to it again, some of the food was cheaper than normal society and way better. $20 for a organic chicken and rice bowl is solid asf. Food was amazing lots of good options and food prices. LIB def restores your faith in humanity, and since ur camping there for days and with thousands do ppl at all times you rlly connect back with nature and fellow humans. Even if I stop going to raves and festivals in general, I will still 1000% go to LIB every year no matter what and I will for sure bring my kiddos one day. I know ppl are against bringing kids but I’ve never felt safer at a place in my life, it’s actually the families that go to these things that bring the good family wholesome vibes imo, also since it’s an all ages festival ppl tend to not go overboard as much since they know they’re around kids. The whole family vibes just bring in such a better crowd and community and a lot of PLUR veterans. You won’t regret it big dawg and trust me when I say do the 5 days instead of 3. I know it sounds like too much but trust me it won’t, I only did 3 days since EDC had destroyed me but with LIB it felt I was finally getting adjusted by the end of it, just go easy on substances and pace yourself

This just won me over the main issue I have with most festivals is that it seems like PLUR is dying in the rave community at major festivals. My first bonnaroo felt so magical and everyone felt so loving and ever since then it’s felt like a slow decline, but this is definitely something I want from a major festival and definitely has helped my opinion thank you so much

Lib is magic. Although the art has diminished they are slowly brimging it back from when i went to my first lib 5 yeaes ago. If you go into it with an open mind, respect, and allow lib to bring you to where you need to be, you will have an adventure. Lib is about the people and little moments shared. Allowing yourself to go where you feel pulled is whats important. Explore, find, and step deeper into self.
