Astral Harvest, June30- July 3, Driftpile, Alberta, Canada

Yoga and hula hooping under the midnight sun make up a good part of this festival. The location of this festival is pretty much hidden, set in a remote location. Attendees dress in a variety of costumes that range from everything from superheroes to aliens. A DJ spins a variety of music each night and there’s also fire spinners and belly dancers performing. Overall it’s a pretty laid-back affair with a Zen sort of vibe.

This colorful festival has been around since 1998. The week-long event starts with classes from the WB Academy that center on body paint, photography and modeling. The rest of the week celebrates everything from makeup to tattoos. More than 40 different countries are represented at this event as artists aim to compete to be the best at what they do. Some of the most outrageous body paint in the world can be seen here each year. If you can imagine it, it can probably be painted on your body at this festival.

Pinkpop Festival, June 10-12, Landgraaf, Netherlands

If you don’t like the color pink, then you probably shouldn’t attend this festival. During Pentecost weekend each year more than 60,000 people visit Landgraaf to listen to music and get decked out in pink. The Pinkpop Festival features a variety of rock and roll bands from around the world. This is considered to be the oldest annual rock and roll festival in Europe as it started 46 years ago. As far as the color pink goes, festival goers generally get decked out in all pink including pink glass and wigs. The crowds do tend to go back and forth from one stage to the other frequently in order to try not to miss all of the performers.

Electric Forest Festival, June 23-26, Rothbury, Michigan

This festival is like no other with its woodland vibe and massive dance party. The surroundings are decorated to look somewhat like Alice in Wonderland and it’s not uncommon to see vibrant colored light displays and interesting artwork adorning the woods. Many festival goers claim that the best way to experience this event is to camp out. This electric dance party is filled with days of fun, massive dance parties, mechanical blooming flowers and a variety of music acts that just might make the forest floor feel like it’s vibrating.
