There are some recurring characteristics of festivals : festivals are bound to a specific location and limited timespan, are organized with a specific goal in mind, and are offering an unique experience (“you had to be there”), and/or are comprising activities ‘out of the ordinary’ like dancing, dressing up and staged performances that suspend daily reality in some way.
We consider music festivals as a specific subset of festivals covered by this definition in which musical performances are prominent.
People’s motivation to visit festivals has been researched in some depth, often in connection to tourism where questions such as why people go on holiday, or how they decide on a holiday destination are prominent. In this setting, festivals are seen as a way to make a holiday destination more attractive.
