The people and community of Same Same But Different continue to bring me back to this wonderful event. It is unlike any other festival I have attended. The combination of live music, electronic dance music, the variety of activities, and the chance to enjoy it all beside a lake makes Same Same But Different a unique music festival.
It is easily one of the most beautiful locations imaginable for a venue to camp and dance. And because the festival is on the smaller side (less than four thousand people), there was always room to breathe.
Having a bad time at this camp-out festival is literally impossible. Throw your hammock up on one of the trees by the car camping or bring your tent in by the beach for ultimate morning views. With tons of easily accessible water, a simple festival layout and no lines for anything really, the experience was unique and one of the happiest places on earth, genuinely. Even the staff and police are happy to be there!
