Why EDC is a Global Phenomenon
The name “Electric Daisy Carnival” has its roots in the early rave scene. “Electric” signifies the pulsating electronic music that fuels the festival, while “Daisy Carnival” embodies the colorful, inclusive, and whimsical vibe attendees can expect. The daisy symbolizes PLUR (Peace, Love, Unity, and Respect), a core mantra embraced by ravers worldwide.
Since its inception in 1997 as a small Los Angeles rave, EDC has expanded into a global phenomenon, hosting events in cities like Las Vegas, Mexico City, and Tokyo. Its emphasis on unity, self-expression, and community has created a devoted fan base, and its mantra—“All Are Welcome Here”—sets it apart from other festivals.
