Festival totems are a hallmark of the Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC), blending creative expression and practical group-location tools in the sea of festival-goers. A standout from the r/electricdaisycarnival subreddit is a vibrant bright pink neon totem shaped like a cartoon nose and mouth, mounted on a collapsible selfie stick with a tripod base for independent standing.
