Water Bottle & Mister

As mentioned before, staying hydrated at music festivals is key. Bringing drinks into the festival grounds is strictly prohibited, so keep an empty water bottle or canteen on hand and fill it up inside! Having a well-made misting spray bottle can keep you cool in the heat, especially with limited shaded areas available.

Bandana

It can get pretty windy out there, causing dust, dirt and pollen to fill the air. Bandanas provide the perfect protection (especially if you have allergies). Plus, they can really add some flare to your festival 'fit. Am I right?!

Spending the day out in the hot sun can take a major toll on your skin, and sunburns are never fun. Keep a tube or bottle of sunscreen with at least SPF 50 for maximal protection.
