For anyone who is interested in three full days of headliners, flashing lights, performers, art, and carnival rides, the Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC) could be the right choice.

EDC 2017 is taking place in Las Vegas from June 16-18 from 7pm-5:30am with ticket prices ranging from $335-$699.  Handling fees for every single ticket ordered will have a $10 handling fee, and for every ticket ordered, $1 will be donated for charitable organization.

The different types of tickets on sale include general admission, VIP, Marquee deck, and EDC weddings.  Some things that are included in the VIP packages are viewing decks for selected sets, dance lounge, VIP ferris wheel, body paint and beauty bar, oxygen bar, gourmet food trucks, air conditioned bathrooms, mobile charging stations for 1-3 days, etc.

Yes, an EDC wedding is an option.  For a renewal/commitment ceremony, it is free, but the price of a wedding package is $403.  A wedding package provides an EDC minister, 6 ceremony pictures, a 15 minute time slot for the wedding, and freedom to choose your own music for the ceremony.

For each day of EDC, there are around 79 performers for each day, some of which are big headliners such as: Zedd, Alesso, DJ Khaled, and Yellow Claw.  As the performers change, so do the stages.  The stages during the EDC experience can go from a “neonGARDEN” to an “upside-downHOUSE.”

Aside from the lasers, bright lights, and sculptures that are considered “interactive art”, something that EDC has that most raves have is carnival rides such as bumper cars and ferris wheels.

Although EDC is meant to be a place to make amazing memories and friends, EDC is striving to make sure everyone has a safe and fun time.  On the EDC website under “INFO”, there is a list of things you can and cannot bring, general information, where things will be located in the carnival, and some policies.  

Something else that EDC offers inside of the carnival is a hydration station and medical station.  The hydration station is a long stand with vendors ready to fill up water bottles, so people stay hydrated.

The Electric Daisy Carnival does its best to ensure safety and fun at the same time to make unforgettable experiences.
