There are a large variety of music festivals to enjoy around the country.
They range from bluegrass to electronic music.
You can find them in the mountains, deserts, or midwest.
Being prepared for your weekend stay outdoors will ensure that you enjoy every moment.
The first thing you want to do is check the weather.
It may be warm during the day but temperatures may drop 20 to 30 degrees at night.
During the day shorts and t-shirts will usually do.
A heavy hooded sweatshirt and cargo pants are perfect for exploring the festival at night.
The most important thing is to be ready for any situation and have options.
Be prepared for rain even if it is not in the forecast.
Unfortunately the weatherman is not always right.
Ponchos work great to keep from getting soaked.
Bring a few different pairs of shoes that you don't mind getting dirty.
Flip flops may be comfortable for a while but after a few days of walking from stage to stage blisters may form.
I have found tevas and strapped sandals to be the most comfortable.
Tennis shoes may be better at night when the temperature drops and visibility is difficult.
We would like to think that people wouldn't leave glass lying around but you never know.
Costumes and fun attire are great to wear at festivals.
The best thing about music festivals is that people don't judge.
Whether you want to get decked out in a banana suit or just wear some funky sunglasses, it all adds to the experience.
Wearing funky clothing will help you feel a part of the scene in your own way.
Neon toys are great props at night and help keep track of friends but be sure to pick up the trash they can create.
Music Festivals are great ways to explore new music, meet new people, and spend a fun filled weekend away from home.
By having the right attire, you will be sure to remain comfortable in any situation.
