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 2025 at Decadence Arizona—an annual festival going down at the Phoenix Raceway from December 30-January 1. 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 Phoenix Raceway is just southwest of Downtown Phoenix. You can stay downtown or anywhere closer to the venue for easy access to and from the rave each night. From Downtown Phoenix it's about a 30 minute drive, or 45 minutes from Scottsdale.
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:
heaven is a hologram iridescent cargo pants
tripp out rainbow reflective top and skirt
