This month 
You say summer, we hear “events, events, events.” From music to theater, food, comedy, and the ones that simply defy explanation, summer’s got events in every city, on every continent, for everybody. Don’t think we have a charm for each and every one of them? Crazily enough– we do.
Event Ticket charms capture these ephemeral moments forever with all the details you want to remember. They’re shaped just like classic paper tickets (remember those?!) with the scalloped edge, perforated ticket stub, and barcode details plus lots of opportunities to make it yours. Fun to keep as a little memento for yourself or gift the great friends and family who joined you on any of your summer event adventures. And though it is not scientifically proven, this could be one possible "cure" for the post-concert amnesia affecting Swifties across the globe. Another one-of-a-kind gift for your one-of-a-kind summer events.
What summer events will you get up to this year? It's almost impossible to choose but here are a few we are extra excited about that may inspire your event hopping.
THE FRINGE FESTIVAL
Feeling a little artsy? A few weeks in Edinburgh, Scotland will really get your creative juices flowing. This world-famous event is the largest arts festival on the planet, attracting performers and artists from every nook and cranny of the globe. From hilarious comedies to thought-provoking dramas, magic shows to acrobatics, the Fringe Festival boasts over 3,000 shows (um, wow) that offer a little bit of everything taking place across literally hundreds of stages. Established in 1947, this festival has been a platform for emerging talents and established stars alike. This year’s festivities kick off August 4th and last through the 28th. And the theme? Expect to see the hashtag “FillYerBoots” pretty much everywhere meaning “to get as much of something valuable or desirable as you can.” We intend to.

Burning Man
Burning Man is another world, maybe universe, unto itself. This annual gathering of creative souls will appear in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada this year from August 27th through September 4th. Since the first event in 1986, Burning Man is all about self-expression, art installations, sustainability, and radical self-reliance and just happens to come with a survival guide. Desert living is no joke! Participants come together to create a temporary city filled with outlandish costumes, larger-than-life interactive sculptures, and mind-expanding performances. This year, the theme is Animalia which is sure to inspire a fair share of costumes and art pieces. Burning Man is a truly transformative experience where you can let go of societal norms, embrace your wild side, and connect with like-minded individuals.
