Wellness rave: an experience that blends electronic music, connection with nature, and outdoor socializing

One DJ on a boat, speakers strapped to a wake tower, and expectations that maybe twenty people would show up – that's how the story of Seattle Paddle Rave began, an event that within just a few weeks grew into a gathering of over a thousand people on the water.
