Pack for all weather conditions. Summer festivals can be unpredictable, so it is important to pack for all weather conditions.
Bring sunscreen and insect repellent. The sun can be strong at festivals, so it is important to protect yourself from the sun. Insect repellent is also a good idea, especially if you are camping at the festival.
Bring a portable charger. Your phone will be running low on battery at the festival, so bring a portable charger to keep it charged.
Have fun and enjoy the festival! Summer festivals are a great way to see your favorite bands, meet new people, and have fun. So relax, have fun, and enjoy the festival!
