With summer quickly approaching, festival season is just around the corner. If you are someone that has never been to a festival before, why continue to put it off any longer when you can head to a festival this summer. However, there are some common mistakes that people make when they go to music festivals and these can often have a detrimental impact on how much someone enjoys their festival. Here is how you can improve any festival experience.
Go With Friends
Every festival experience becomes ten times more exciting and fun when you attend with friends. Some people enjoy going to festivals alone and they see it as an opportunity to make friends, but if you have never been to a festival before, then I would definitely recommend that you at least go with a group of friends so that you have someone to celebrate the occasion with. Being with friends is also a good safety measure, as people often get really drunk at festivals and if you do the same, you will likely want to have someone that can look after you.
Wear Comfortable Shoes
The biggest mistake that every girl makes when going to a festival is putting fashion before practicality. Look I get it, when you are at a festival, it is quite normal for you to want to dress to impress, but please consider wearing practical footwear. You are going to be on your feet for hours at a time and the last thing that you want is for your fun time to be ruined by being in pain. You also need to consider the weather, as fields can get quite muddy during a festival.
Try Weed
If you are not someone that has tried marijuana in the past, a festival is the best place that you can try it for the first time and it will be life changing for your festival experience. If you live in places like Canada, marijuana is completely legal and so you will be able to take it into the festival you are attending without even worrying, right now you can also buy marijuana seeds in Canada, so you could get a stash prepared in time for the festival season next year. It will really heighten your experience and make it much more fun.
Invest in a Quality Tent
I am speaking from experience when I give this advice. When I went to my first festival, I was really naive and I thought just bringing any old tent would be more than enough to sleep in during the nights. I was then very shocked to find that sleeping in a tent is not as nice as I imagined and you are going to experience extreme colds and heat, as well as condensation. Make sure that you buy a tent with plenty of room, as this will ensure that you are as comfortable as you can be during your camping experience at the festival.
Make Sure You Eat Plenty
When you go to a festival, something that you will quickly realize is that the food that they serve there can be really expensive and so it may be tempting to skip out on meals. A great way to overcome this is by bringing your own food to the festival. You can get very small coolers that you could fill with some sandwiches or something else substantial and these will be really helpful when you are hungry but you do not want to pay excessive vendor prices. Be sure to eat at least 3 times a day, especially when you are dancing and burning a lot of your calories.
Bring Warm Clothes
If you are going to a festival that takes place in the summer, your packing list is probably going to be very small clothing items that will prevent you from getting too hot. What you have to remember is that the weather can shift really fast and it can become cold really quickly and so you don’t want to end up freezing. At night time in particular the temperatures can really drop and so you should consider bringing some warm clothes that you can change into when you need to.
