  1. Comfortable Clothing: Think lightweight and breathable. Swimsuits, cover-ups, shorts, and tank tops are perfect. Don’t forget a hat and sunglasses to protect yourself from the sun.
  2. Footwear: Comfortable sandals or flip-flops are ideal. Water shoes can be handy for the pool areas.
  3. Sunscreen: A high-SPF sunscreen is essential. Make sure to reapply it throughout the day, especially after swimming.
  4. Hydration Pack or Water Bottle: Staying hydrated is crucial. Bring a refillable water bottle or a hydration pack to keep water with you at all times.
  5. Festival Accessories: A small backpack or fanny pack is great for carrying your essentials. A waterproof phone case is also a good idea.
  6. Snacks: While there will be plenty of food vendors, having some light snacks like energy bars, fruit, and nuts can be handy.

Staying Hydrated and Sun-Safe

With the summer sun shining bright, it’s important to stay hydrated and protect yourself from the heat. Here are some tips to keep you cool and safe:

  1. Drink Water Regularly: Keep sipping water throughout the day. Dehydration can sneak up on you, especially when you’re dancing and having fun.
  2. Take Breaks in the Shade: Find shaded areas to rest and cool down. Avoid staying in direct sunlight for long periods.
  3. Use Sun Protection: Apply and reapply sunscreen every couple of hours. Wear a wide-brimmed hat and UV-protective sunglasses.
  4. Know the Signs of Heat Exhaustion: Be aware of symptoms like dizziness, nausea, and excessive sweating. If you feel unwell, seek medical help right away.
  5. Avoid Excessive Alcohol: Alcohol can dehydrate you quickly. If you’re drinking, balance it with plenty of water.
  6. Eat Light: Opt for light, hydrating foods like fruits and salads. Heavy meals can make you feel sluggish in the heat.

To truly make the most of it, you need to be prepared and open to everything the festival has to offer. Start by planning your schedule in advance; check the lineup and decide which sets you don’t want to miss. Arriving early is key to securing a good spot and avoiding long lines, setting you up for a smooth and enjoyable day.

Listen to your body’s needs—rest when you’re tired, hydrate, and eat when you’re hungry. Taking these steps will ensure you have the energy and stamina to fully enjoy the festival.
