Rave organizers, or promoters, oversee all aspects of the party, from renting out the space to hiring deejays. Some North Carolina promoters hold regular parties, like Greensboro's 'First Friday,' a rave that's been held once a month for the last seven years. Others are one-time events sometimes held in unusual locations, like former churches and elementary schools. By far, most raves in North Carolina are held in nightclubs or venues specifically meant for dance parties. TOP
