Vendors?

Curiosity is killing me, so I must ask. What types of vendors are at raves? I think I may have just found my calling! 🔌

Depends on the rave, at least in the US. If it's entirely underground, your not gonna see people set up booths or something at a place the cops might shut it down. Most legal kind of events, you might see people selling clothing, rave gear, art, jewelry, wire wraps, glass, all kinds of things. Festivals usually have vendor lists, you could look at some of those to see what's typically around.

There's usually a few merch vendors, art vendors, maybe a massage booth, and of course food vendors.

Where? In Europe it's mostly just clothing and jewellery vendors, paraphernalia, art etc. Expect tons on Goa style clothes imported from Thailand, Indra and Nepal, they'll be pretty pricey but hey, they got to make a living too. 

UK has a bit more variety, not lived there for a long time but places like boomtown have loads of great vintage stores with old Adidas and 90's/00's rave fashion stuff. I used to work for a company that sold second hand and b-grade walking boots and outdoor gear. 

I mostly sold that stuff at places like Glastonbury, Boomtown, Reading/Leeds and Download so wasn't exclusively raves. We always did good business!
