There is something special about New Year's Eve festivals and raves because everything is sparkly and exciting. Bringing in the new year is best when you're with people you love, and doing it alongside your rave fam will make the experience unlike any other. This year we're stoked to bring in 2022 at Decadence Arizona—an annual festival going down at the Rawhide Western Town & Events Center just outside of Phoenix on December 30th and 31st, 2021. Read on for everything you need to know about Decadence Arizona, from where to stay to what to wear.
Lineup and Tickets
Getting There/Where to Stay
The Rawhide Western Town & Events Center is located just south of Phoenix in Chandler, Arizona and is right off of I-10. The event itself is about a 30 minute drive from Downtown Phoenix, which is about $25 on Uber if you book ahead. Decadence also offers travel packages which you can learn more about here.
What Can I Bring?
There is a list of things you can and cannot bring into Decadence Arizona on the festival website here. Note that this festival does not allow totems.
What Should I Wear?
You should wear whatever makes you feel confident and beautiful! iHeartRaves just dropped a collection of gorgeous New Year's Eve inspired pieces that would be perfect for Decadence. The weather in Arizona in late-December is pretty cold, even for the desert, so I recommend packing some longer pants or chaps that will keep you warm. Here are some of my favorite pieces from iHeartRaves that you can wear to Decadence Arizona:
Tempt Me Stud Ultra Crop Top and Two-Piece Short Set.
Same Ol' Me But More Fab Rhinestone Crop Top and Mesh Bell Bottoms
Sizzling Hot Rhinestone Crop Top and Booty Shorts
