Project GLOW is an electronic dance music festival held at the RFK Festival Grounds in Washington, D.C., produced by Insomniac, the company behind major American EDM events including Electric Daisy Carnival. Launched in the early 2020s, the festival brings multiple stages of dance music programming to the city each June, positioning itself as a continuation of dance music culture with a distinctly Washington identity.
Washington, D.C.
Insomniac's backing gives Project GLOW production values and artist-booking reach that few independent dance festivals can match, connecting Washington directly to the same company responsible for Electric Daisy Carnival and other major American EDM events, while still branding the festival as a distinctly local Washington institution rather than a generic touring stop
The festival markets itself around a long lineage of dance music culture in the city, describing itself as celebrating over two decades of dance music, art, and culture in the nation's capital, tying its multi-stage programming to a deeper regional history of DC's electronic and rave scenes rather than presenting itself as a brand-new import
Its RFK Festival Grounds setting places it alongside other major Washington outdoor festivals sharing the same site, giving the location itself a growing identity as the city's primary large-scale festival venue
The festival continues the broader American rave and dance music tradition of large-scale
multi-stage electronic festivals built around elaborate stage production and immersive lighting design
a format popularized nationally by Insomniac's flagship events
adapted here to Washington's own dance music history and RFK Festival Grounds setting
