One-pocket bag:
Be sure to bring small clutch purse or fanny pack that are 4.5" x 5.5" inches or smaller which does not need to be clear. All other bags must be fully CLEAR and made up of clear plastic, vinyl, or pvc, and be no larger than 12" x 12" x 6" inches ONLY.
Clothing and footwear: Be sure to pack clothes and footwear appropriate for the weather and activities. Comfortable shoes (i.e., sneakers) are a must, as you'll be on your feet often. Bring layers for cooler evenings and rain gear in case of inclement weather.
Sun protection: The festival is held outdoors, so be sure to pack sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat or bandana for sun protection.
Water bottle or hydration pack:
Staying hydrated is crucial, so bring a refillable water bottle or hydration pack.
Portable charger:
Your phone will be your lifeline at the festival, so bring a portable charger or power bank to keep it charged.
Earplugs: The music can get loud, so protect your hearing with earplugs.
Cash or card: Bring cash or a card for purchases, including food, drinks, and festival merchandise.
Toiletries:
Stay extra prepared with hand sanitizer and flushable wipes when there is no soap or toilet paper in the bathroom stalls.
