VIEW TRIP

why festivals or event trips?

Booking a festival or event trip isn’t just about seeing a place—it’s about experiencing a moment. These trips let you be part of something unforgettable: think lanterns lighting up the sky in Thailand or the entire city of Dublin turning green on St. Patrick’s Day.

Unlike a regular tour, you’re stepping into a celebration, sharing it with locals and like-minded travelers, and creating stories that go way beyond sightseeing. It’s culture, energy, and connection—all wrapped into one unforgettable adventure.

One-of-a-Kind Cultural Immersion

You’re not just visiting—you’re participating. Dive into local traditions, celebrations, and once-in-a-year moments that bring a destination to life.

No hostels here!

Enjoy bungalows, locally-owned gems, and boutique hotels. Rooms shared for two, no dorms or bunk beds, just comfortable spaces for you and your new travel buddy.

Seats are limited

Festival trips are limited and book up fast—these celebrations only happen once a year, and space is tight. Between high local demand, seasonal events, and our small group sizes, spots go quickly!

Connect with travelers

Connection is the heart of every Under30Experiences trip. Kick things off with a fun welcome dinner where you’ll meet your fellow adventurers. Bond over unique experiences, share laughs, and make memories. And when it’s time to say goodbye, you’ll swap stories and celebrate with a farewell dinner. New friends, new adventures, and a whole lot of good vibes!
