Festivals etc aren't quite suited. Studies have shown that friendship etc forms best when you both "have" to be there, and regularly see eachother at these events. I'm not describing this eloquently, but basically Sunday church and weekday K-12 education are both prime substrate for forming strong friendship, while random run-ins at festivals and concerts are decidedly not. Considering the decline in church attendance in young adulthood, and the fact that you don't attend grade school anymore, small wonder strong friendship is harder to come by.
