Whereabouts are you? Are there any festivals you'd recommend in particular?

Lindy Hop?
In the states the biggies are: Camp Hollywood (lotta pool time, lotta drinking) Lindy Focus (christmas -> new years, it's nuts) Nevermore (my personal favorite) Camp Jitterbug (used to be super relevent as the contest weekend event, sorta on the decline/ not sure) Lindyfest has some nice peeps at it Camp
the biggest is Herrang in sweden, it's the lindy hop mecca trip.

I would not recommend a beginner start at Camp Hollywood. It’s a bit intense.
Lindy on the Rocks in Denver is usually pretty good. There’s a huge swing dance community in the Front Range.

I respectfully disagree. They have a ton of beginner classes and a lot of opportunity to be exposed to contests and good live music.
Yeah the party scene is a bit nuts but you don't have to be a part of that.
