Kids Zone in the most important international festivals.( DjMag )
Analysing these events from the perspective of audience by age, I noticed that they are divided into 16/18/21 + and Family friendly festivals, which allow minors to enter the festival, applying different policies and rules for them.
Looking at the top 20 Family friendly festivals, I noticed that most of them have this area dedicated to children, which I will call KidZone (kids area, family zone).
