5. Golden Hour:
When the sun starts to descend, there’s a period we call the ‘golden hour’ or ‘magic hour.’ Around 7 or 8PM, this is when the most beautiful part of the day happens. The sun is glistening through the crowd of festival goers, dancing in the sun’s rays of light. It truly is a magical experience.
