With Atlanta's music festival 'Music Midtown' soon approaching, my mind is going crazy with all of the things I may need. I attended the festival last year and have learned some lessons on what to bring based on my experience. Here are some tips and essentials that you may find useful! Happy packing!
1. Fanny Pack or purse
Most music festivals don't allow backpacks. However, fanny packs and small purses are a must to hold all of your festival essentials.
2. Water Bottle
When you're out in the hot sun all day and packed in between tight crowds, it is crucial to stay hydrated. Music Midtown (and most other festivals) allow water bottles and have refill stations around the festival.
3. Portable Charger
Nobody wants a dead phone when they're trying to snap a picture with their friends or record a great performance! Bringing along a portable charger will keep your phone battery full all day long when there's no outlets.
4. Fan
Whether it's a mini electric fan or a piece of cardboard, the extra burst of air is a helpful aid when you're feeling overheated.
5. Makeup wipes or blotting sheets
All of that glitter and tumblr inspired makeup is likely to be sweated off by the end of the day. Bringing along a makeup wipe can be a nice refresher for your sweaty skin.
6. Festival Fashion
One of the most exciting parts of festivals are the outfits! Bring your style game with creative and festive ensembles.
