I encourage you to think of festivaling as a creative practice that is learned, not presumed.

Splurge on VIP Tickets
If it’s possible for you to, always splurge on VIP tickets.
However; a big part of making the most of your festival experience is organization.
Its a mood-boosting Nootropic supplement that naturally boosts serotonin and enhances the senses.
A rep fromYourEDM.comalso tried it and said: It was the awareness that captivated me most.
Croatia Wave
Not psychedelic by any means, but the world around me leapt into focus.
Basically, you get to have a personal light show anywhere you go.
These experience-enhancing accoutrements will guarantee that youll have the ultimate music festival experience.
Bring a Fanny Pack of Essentials
Mood-boosting accoutrements are great, but what about the basic essentials?
Youll barely notice that its around your hips as you dance the night away.
Yes it will be large enough for all of those things and no, it wont be heavy.
Your phone can double as a flashlight and a camera, so theres no need to bring those things.
Baby wipes are perfect for a quick, refreshing wipe-down to cool yourself off when you get too hot.
Theyre also essential if nature calls and the line up for the port a-potties is way too long.
If youre an introvert youll need to mentally prepare for all of the humans.
Human interaction is something introverts can thrive off of if theyve prepared themselves for the event.
Know the festival rules so that there are no unexpected surprises or confiscations.
Dress for Comfort
Your festival outfits should be meticulously planned out.
You want to look good, sure, but that comes second to comfort.
Dress to dance, walk and be in the heat comfortably.
Shoes should, without question, be some bang out of running shoe with support.
Clothing should be breathable and loose rather than tight and constricting.
If you tend to chafe between the thighs, keep that in mind before deciding on those short-shorts.
Dont wear expensive accessories.
Carry a flannel button-down or a sweater in case it gets chilly.
Remember that your outfit choice can make or break your festival experience.
Practice being present in the moment and being mindful of your incredible surroundings.
Take it all in.
Dont watch it through an iPhone screen.
Pay attention to the vibration from the speakers, the sounds, the smells, the air, etc.
Your phone should be used minimally.
Take some photos and videos, sure, but dont be doing this all day long.
Be Safe
Being safe is key at music festivals.
Know where the first aid booths are located.
Keep your wits about you dont get too drunk.
Pace yourself and dont accept that Tylenol from the guy in the bear costume.
Its much safer to opt for the natural high and take KATY instead of drugs.
Stay hydrated, and drink tons of water.
Wear a hat and sunscreen because heatstroke and sun burns are a real buzz kill.
Practice safe sex and dont put yourself in situations where youre suddenly alone with someone you dont trust.
verify you always have a portable phone charger and enough cash.
Plan meeting times and locations with your friends or have a buddy system in place.
Go With a Good Crew
Theres nothing worse than going to a music festival with the wrong people.
Youll want to go with people who are open-minded about the experience.
A costume helps you make new friends, too.
Thats what these legendary events are all about.
