Festival Essentials & Staying Comfortable

With the weather forecast showing lows in the 50s and highs around 74°F, dressing smart is key. For all the ladies (and guys) looking to rock their best rave fits, make sure to layer up—you can always shed layers as the day warms up, but you’ll want that extra warmth when the sun goes down. Pack a light jacket or hoodie that’s easy to carry.

Stay Hydrated and Take Care of Each Other

It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement, but staying hydrated is crucial. Luckily, hydration packs are allowed at the festival, so bring yours to stay refreshed throughout the day. And remember: festivals are all about good vibes and community. If you see someone who might need help, don’t hesitate—take care of each other. If something doesn’t look right, say something. Let’s keep the party safe and fun for everyone.
