Festivals are common worldwide and usually occur annually, commemorating religion, music, culture, and more. These gatherings are often organised for large numbers of attendees, especially when host countries expect guests from around the globe. They are typically held in outdoor areas with a large stage upfront. A VIP (Very Important Person) section is often available for those wanting a reserved, prime view. Numerous vendors offer food, accessories, or souvenirs for purchase. These celebrations include music, flags, posters, and anything that draws attention.
Getting performers and special guests is another important part of getting ready for the festival. These people are asked to add to its charm and bring people. When we talk about getting ready, it’s only fair that the people who are going to the event are also well-prepared. So, if this is your first time going to, say, a music event in Europe, make sure you remember these things and have a great time:
Schedule
First on the list is to determine the festival schedule, which usually runs for two to three days. This is essential, especially if you are looking forward to seeing your favourite performer on stage. Knowing the schedule allows you to plan a good itinerary, particularly if you and your group prefer more settled accommodations, such as a hotel or condominium staycation. If you can plan ahead, you’ll also have a good start in booking flights and allowing room for any delays or adjustments.
Tents
Hotels and condominiums are mentioned as options for staying and sleeping; however, to maximise your festival experience, especially if you’re on a tight budget, a tent should be on your list to bring. A bigger tent is best because it lets you fit more things inside. You can sleep well if you have an airbed that you can blow up, a pillow, and clean sheets or blankets. Also, don’t forget your earplugs and eye mask. With all the noise and parties going on around you, it might be hard to sleep.
Space
Once you have the tent, you need to carefully pick out a place to put it up. You might want to learn more about the event site ahead of time because you don’t want to set up your tent on a hill where water could pool nearby if it rains a lot. Additionally, setting up near the toilets could present challenges for a peaceful night’s sleep.
Dress Code
Bring multiple, if not numerous, festival outfits to fit the mood and event. Dress to impress, they say, but your goals should be to fit in and ensure you are comfortable while looking for the best outfit. Furthermore, your footwear is your best friend. Wellies are the best option to wear, as they will keep your feet dry and warm, helping to prevent possible damage to your feet in the long run. Festivals often have a strict dress code, so before heading out to party, make sure you bring all your spare outfits with you.
Safety
Your safety is your responsibility. A belt bag or crossbody bag is a good choice to keep your valuables with you wherever you go. Your wristbands should be in place, and you should have identification cards to ensure you will be allowed to purchase some booze. While your tent can be sealed to some extent, it’s best not to leave your valuable items inside for added safety. To lessen the worry and vulnerability of lost items, bring only what you can manage.
