Spiritual music in Uppsala, meditation in Falkenberg and ska in Södertälje (starts today!). Just because summer is over doesn’t mean the festival season is. Therefore, we at 365 are boasting with the collected experiences of our summer. Here are seven things you can do at a festival.

Few things make people as happy as getting a song. The best thing about a sing-o-gram is that you don’t have to be Justin Timberlake to perform them. Just the thought of getting a song is to many so overwhelming that they don’t mind if you happen to sing like crap and if they would it's just charming anyway. You can choose to sing solo or with a group of friends. Either send your sing-o-gram to someone you know or offer your service to total strangers. Then make a sign that you hang around your neck where you offer free sing-o-grams.

1. Determine a repertoire of five songs. Rehearse the songs.

2. Find someone who will get the sing-o-gram.

3. Sing your heart out.

Required time: 
1 day or less.
Cost: 
Free.
Cons: 
There are people who hate music. Beware of them. The risk of meeting them at a music festival is small - but don’t underestimate it.
Pros: 
People get excited and maybe offer you a cookie or a hug.
