You’re too old to go to a festival, they say. You’re past your prime, they say<\/strong>. And yes, I might have grown up in age but also in patience, so I ask myself: Can’t it be me who decides when I leave my prime behind?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s true, I’m no longer that teenager<\/strong> that used to throw beer in the air while dancing in the first row of a concert. Now, I watch the concert from a good position, I listen to the music and drink my beer instead of washing my hair with it.<\/p>\n

What happened to me? Am I no longer allowed to go nuts?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

WHEN I WAS TWENTY<\/h3>\n

When I was a 20-year-old, I used to join any friend of a friend that felt like partying. We would go to a concert and drink 20 beers, one per year of age<\/strong>. The day after that, I would still be able to get up early and have lunch at my grandmother’s, who advised me to make the most of my time.<\/p>\n

If I have 20 beers today, tomorrow I’ll probably feel like I’ve been buried next to my grandma. That’s why I value my body much more and I choose quality rather that quantity<\/strong>. And I’m applying this to all spheres of my life.<\/p>\n

Sometimes, I meet up with my best friends<\/strong>, those that have always been by my side. Sometimes, I enjoy a concert with my family, with my loved one and our son, who’s now turning 3.<\/p>\n

Every now and them, though, I just call those friends that I haven’t seen in a while<\/strong>. And I confess that we’re so happy to catch up that, sometimes, we end up drinking almost one beer for each year of age. And we’re no longer twenty!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I’M NO LONGER TWENTY… OR AM I?<\/h3>\n

What does it mean that I’m no longer twenty? I was twenty some time ago, and I still keep those experiences that I’ll never forget. My twenties are mine forever<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It’s true that I used to have all the time in the world and I would waste it in any possible way. Now, I choose much better my festivals. My free time is precious<\/strong> and I know exactly how I want to spend it.<\/p>\n

No, I’m not just going to any festival.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

AND THEN, THE MAGIC<\/h3>\n

What are the best festivals? <\/strong>Those that I can enjoy with my friends or my family. Those that allow me to choose the peacefulness<\/strong> of eating next to a foodtruck or the adrenaline<\/strong> of dancing in front of a blasting stage.<\/p>\n

What are the best concerts?<\/strong> Those that begin in the last row and continue with a magic explosion.<\/p>\n

The magic I’m talking about is some sort of magnetic force that draws me to the front row. And then I end up jumping, dancing, singing.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I sing like the crazy teenager I’ve always been, I dance like the teenager that decided to be an adult but will never be able to renounce the very essence. And I jump because I want my partner and my son to see me and laugh out loud.<\/p>\n

That’s when I know I’m at my best.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\n

Cru\u00eflla Festival can be enjoyed during both day and night with your family<\/a> or friends.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Take a look at the line-up and look for the bands you like. You can buy a day ticket or, if you want to live the whole experience, a full-pass ticket.<\/em><\/p>\n

But, mainly, dance, jump and sing, because your time is now.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
