Where there are a few people, sound equiptment and a couple DJs, it can be considered a rave. Urban Dictionary

The name given to an electronic music scene made up of Generation Xers that was "underground" in the early-to-mid 1990s, but which became extremely commercialized and eventually died out at the end of the last century. A number of teenagers and twentysomethings who were too young to attend raves back then now go around calling themselves "ravers" and listen to electronic music thinking that the rave scene is still flourising. Urban Dictionary

As a verb, this word has its origins in late latin, ravo, ravere, ravivi, ravisus, and meant 'a bathhouse party' an event now reffred to as an orgy. this ancient event consisted of people lying around naked, eating lots of food, drinking plenty of wine, and freely fucking anyone you wanted. there were also often exotic dark skinned poeples brought in to play an interesting blend of drums and to dance. these parties were abandoned durring the dark ages, and, though it is not documented, it is beleived that during the renaissance, these events were once again a part of a towns night life. it is truly amazing how little these events have changed over the past 2 millenia. Urban Dictionary

An all night dance party. Also the slang used by undereducated people to describe "techno" music. A rave can be anything from you and your friends partying all night to 30,000 people ravin' it up inside the arena.
