Know the Venue and Lineup
Every festival posts the map of their venue and layout so make sure to familiarize yourself with the venue layout, entrances, and exits. Review the lineup and take a screen shot to set it as your phones wallpaper so it can help you plan which DJs or stages to prioritize.
Bring Essentials
- ID and tickets (digital, printed or wristband)
- Earplugs (protect your hearing!)
- A small bag for essentials (cash, phone, and chapstick). Most venues have a clear bag policy, check out our colorful clear backpacks and fanny packs to ensure faster security checks and you don't get turned away at the door!
- A portable charger

3. What to Do Once You're There
Beat the long lines and take time to explore the venue. (Pssst, we might have a booth there, make sure to check our instagram page to see if we're there!)
Whether you're with friends or meeting new people, raves are better when shared amongst your fellow ravers. (but going solo is also a great time and a chance to meet new people)
Let go of your worries, feel the music, and join the crowd.
