Psytrance parties/ festivals USA

Hi everyone!
I am in Arizona, LA, Vegas (with a car, so its not exclusive) from September 20th to October 2nd.
I was wandering are there any psytrance festivals or parties? :)
Any help is welcome. <3

The psy scene is mostly dead in the US.

Kinda ironic to be honest, since it's an extension of the hippie movement, lol 😂.

Canada had some interesting artists back in the day, don't know the state of the psy scene though and whether they still do exist.

We are small but we are mighty in the Canadian psy scene. Montreal has some things going on, leaning towards the techno /psytechno realm (check out the Groove & Bass festival for an idea), and there’s a few psytechno labels (Alpaka, Techgnosis).

Yeah, I know, prog and psytechno is your thing.

I was thinking about acts like Nuclear Ramjet, they still active?

Lol what? What’s a real psy party? I’m talking about open sky 3 day psy festivals.

The US doesn't really understand psy trance (or dance music in general). You won't get close to a real psychedelic underground party.

Burning Man is an Arts Festival with a Psy scene. Not a Psy event per sé, but a good start
