#111 - Festival Fun: Music, Vibes, and Something for Everyone

What if the best kind of escape is the one that brings you back to yourself?In this episode of Girls Gone Gritty, Farley and Jennifer turn a fun conversation about festivals into something deeper: the human need for connection, shared experience, and joyful moments that pull us out of everyday stress. They talk about how festivals have changed over time, from Woodstock’s peace-and-love roots to today’s genre-based events like Coachella, Jazz Fest, and See Hear Now.Along the way, they share why live music matters, how festivals help people find their tribe, and what makes certain events worth the effort, cost, and even the weather. They also touch on the frustrating reality of ticket sales, bots, and resale chaos, while offering practical insight for listeners thinking about adding a festival to their calendar.The episode closes with a meaningful reminder that grit is not just about pushing through hard things. It is also about showing up for others. Their story of a human chain formed to save a boy and a dog is a powerful example of unity, courage, and what people can do when they act together.Episode Highlights:(0:00) Intro(1:33) Top three wild stories(4:28) How festivals shaped culture(5:10) Why people crave festivals(6:45) Different festivals different energy(8:50) Finding music and your people(10:21) The ticket buying struggle(13:01) Why See Hear Now stands out(14:43) Why festivals fit everyone(17:05) Got Grit award and unity(21:05) OutroSend us Fan MailSupport the showFollow us:Web: https://girlsgonegritty.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/girlsgonegritty/More ways to find us: https://linktr.ee/girlsgonegritty
