Things to bring when going to a Festival
Festivals are a great way to enjoy live music, good food, and the company of friends. But before you can enjoy all that a festival has to offer, you need to make sure you have everything you need! This article will tell you what essential items you should bring with you so that you can have the best time possible.
Sunscreen
When going to a festival, don’t forget to pack sunscreen! Whether you’re spending the day outdoors or roaming around a crowded festival, you’ll want to protect your skin from the sun. Choose a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 and apply it liberally to all exposed skin. Don’t forget to reapply throughout the day, especially if you’re sweating or swimming.
Hats or sunglasses
When going to a festival, it’s important to remember to bring hats or sunglasses to protect yourself from the sun. Hats or sunglasses are essential if you’re going to be outdoors for extended periods.
Insect repellent
If you’re planning on attending a festival this summer, chances are you’ll be spending a lot of time outdoors. And while festivals are a great way to enjoy the warmer weather, they can also be a breeding ground for mosquitoes and other pesky insects.
So before you head out to your next festival, make sure you pack some insect repellent. A good insect repellent will keep mosquitoes and other insects away so you can enjoy the celebration without worrying about being bitten.
There are a lot of different insect repellents on the market, so it’s essential to choose one that is right for you. For example, if you have sensitive skin, look for an insect repellent specifically designed for sensitive skin. And if you’re worried about chemicals, plenty of natural insect repellents are also available.
Whichever type of insect repellent you choose, make sure to pack it in your bag, so you’re prepared for anything.
Blanket or mat
If you’re planning on spending any time at a festival this summer, you’ll want to make sure you bring a blanket or mat. Not only will this give you a comfortable place to sit, but it will also protect you from getting too much sun.
Comfortable shoes
When it comes to festivals, comfort is vital. You’ll be doing a lot of walking, so make sure to bring a pair of shoes that you can comfortably walk in for hours.
Snacks and water
No matter what festival you’re attending, you will want to bring snacks and water. While most festivals have food vendors, the prices can be outrageous and extend the lines. So save yourself some money and hassle by packing your snacks and drinks. Trust us; you’ll be glad you did when you’re standing in line for the bathroom instead of the concession stand.
Extra cash and a credit card
When it comes to festivals, having extra cash and a credit card is always a good idea. You never know when you’ll want to buy something or when you’ll need to pay for something unexpectedly. Having a credit card can also be helpful in case of emergencies.
Your phone and charger
If you’re going to a festival, your phone and charger are probably the two most important things you’ll need. Your phone will help you stay connected with your friends, share photos and videos of the festival experience, and keep track of your schedule. And, of course, you’ll need a charger to keep your phone powered up throughout the day.
