Positive emotions

Increased sense of belonging

Participating in festivals fosters a sense of belonging to a community or cultural group. This sense of identity and belonging can boost self-esteem and mental well-being.

Mindfulness and presence

Festivals encourage mindfulness as people focus on the celebration rather than worrying about past or future concerns, which can reduce anxiety and promote mental clarity.
