Hey there! Luxe Festival Tents Thanks to two new documentaries chronicling its rise and fall, the notorious "Fyre Festival" has returned to the spotlight. Although both documentaries focus on the many things the Fyre Festival team got wrong, they did get one important thing right: "festival culture" can be channeled into powerful business opportunities. The idea of festival culture has evolved rapidly in recent years, spreading beyond just music events and into industries like food, tech, and everything in between. Festivals are no longer seen as mere entertainment - they represent lifestyles, and aligning your business with these lifestyles can mean winning over entirely new networks of consumers. Brands are taking note. In our Curated Festival insight, we've identified some of the ways that companies are tapping into festival culture with targeted products, pop-up shops, and even luxe accommodations (check out Marriott's Coachella yurts). Read on for more, and stay-tuned for an exciting update about Trend Hunter's own Future Festival next week! Enjoy! Jeremy Gutsche CEO, Author & Keynote Speaker - JeremyGutsche.com P.S.
