See how many music festivals are within driving distance from the Mahoning Valley
About 32 million Americans attend music festivals each year, according to Billboard.
Almost half of these are millennials, who place a lot of value on experiences and travel. Organizers, recognizing the generation’s priorities and massive spending power, have started making their events not just parties but destinations.
Rather than running festivals in rural areas like Bethel, New York, many of the country’s biggest events are now held within a few hours of the biggest cities.
In light of that, Vivid Seats compiled data on the driving time to music festivals from Youngstown.
