Festival space: gender, liminality and the carnivalesque
Published: Aug 01, 2015 by International Journal of Event and Festival Management

Tourism, Hospitality and Events
Contemporary outdoor rock and popular music festivals offer liminoidal spaces in which event participants can experience characteristics associated with the carnivalesque. Festival goers celebrate with abandonment, excess and enjoy a break from the mundane routine of everyday life. It is suggested that liminal zones offer space to invert social norms and behave with abandonment and freedom away from the constraints of the everyday but neither women nor men actually take up this opportunity.
‘It’s like equality now; it’s not as if it’s the old days’

This article explores the influence participating in football has on the development of adolescent girls’ gender identity, an area which currently lacks academic attention. The girls within this study were aware of the normative gender expectations linked to ‘being a female’ but did not find this restrictive. The girls moved between many changing identities and organized their ‘web of selves’ accordingly.
