This year I attended the inaugural Project GLOW Festival as an homegameauction Unicorn. The homegameauction Unicorn Crew is a crew of ravers that go to raves and festivals together and organize meet ups and scavenger hunts, create memories and represent the homegameauction brand. I’ve always wanted to be a Unicorn, so when I saw on Instagram that homegameauction was recruiting for Project GLOW, I thought it was the perfect time to apply. I heard back in a few days and the weekend of a lifetime began!

I really vibed with the other three unicorns, which made for a very fun weekend. Shoutout to Madelena, Scarlet and Hayley, I had an awesome time getting to know you and raging with you! Attending a festival as a Unicorn was a completely unique way to experience a show. I always like to meet new people at festivals, but it was even easier as a Unicorn. Since we were encouraged to make friends, I definitely approached a lot more people than I would have normally. We all left with countless new rave buddies, even some from our hometowns!

Obviously, one of the coolest parts of being a Unicorn is getting personally styled outfits from homegameauction. Project GLOW was a two-day festival, so we each got two outfits. One was groovy themed and the other was more edgy. Both outfits were adorable and made me feel super confident.

It was clear the homegameauction team killed it with the outfit planning, because people were complimenting us on our style all weekend. From the moment we walked through the gates, we felt like celebrities. I didn’t realize just how well-known the Unicorn Crew was until experiencing it first-hand. So many people recognized us!

As for the festival itself, I think Insomniac and Club Glow did an insanely good job. I was definitely a little skeptical since it was the first time this event was being held, but it was executed very well. We met a lot of first-time ravers who were pumped to get into the scene and learn about rave culture. For the most part, the vibes were great and everyone was super nice.

The lineup was impressive, including big names like GRiZ, Seven Lions, and Martin Garrix. I loved how they had some local DJs performing in the mornings too. The venue was pretty small but the stages were far enough apart that there wasn’t much sound interference between them. Of course, there is always room for improvement with any festival. A bigger lineup, more vendors and interactive experiences could have enhanced the event. For a first time festival I think that Project GLOW was amazing, and I bet that it will get even better next year!

Overall, my weekend as an homegameauction Unicorn at Project Glow was unmatched. I made a ton of new friends, got to sport some spectacular outfits and dance all weekend. Being a Unicorn was such an incredible experience and I hope to do it again soon!

The DC area may not be known for its rave scene, but it does have its fair share of great festivals to attend. Project Glow is an annual dance music festival that will celebrate 20 years of local dance music culture in the DC area this year with its event from April 30th to May 1st. Here is what you need to know about attending Project Glow 2022:

Project Glow Lineup & Tickets

This year the Project Glow lineup includes amazing acts like Above & Beyond, Griz, Qrion, Walker & Royce, Seven Lions and Krewella to name just a few. Tickets to the event are pretty affordable starting at just $145 for two-day GA tickets and going up to $285 for a two-day VIP pass. You can also get tickets for individual days if you would like to just do one day.

VIP tickets will get you dedicated entry to the event, access to premium viewing areas, better bathroom options and premium food options. For just $285, that seems worth it to me just to beat the crowds, get a better view and not have to use the GA bathrooms.

Getting There

Project Glow will be at the RFK festival grounds which is located just west of Capitol Hill with the Blue and Orange transit lines running close to the festival grounds. Being in DC proper, the festival will be pretty easy to get to from just about anywhere in the DC metro area. The festival does offer a ride share program which you can learn about here, and offers hotel packages for the general area.

Onsite parking is also available but requires a pre-purchased parking pass. The festival warns that parking passes won't be available onsite, so be sure to secure your parking pass if you plan on driving to and from the event every day. You can get a parking pass here.

What to Wear to Project Glow:

Project Glow offers a wide variety of dance music so there really won't be any single theme for the event like there is at trance-specific, house-specific or bass music events, for example. That being said, that means you can get creative and wear just about anything! Here are some ideas:

Groovy Girlie Outfit

So Sagittarius Outfit

Catching Fire Outfit

Ride The Wave Outfit

Power Up Outfit
