After hitting up Coachella 13 times, I have my music festival packing list down to a science. Trust me, when you’re out there in the desert, or at any festival, you’ll thank yourself for being prepared to dance from dawn ’til dusk. Whether you’re a music festival newbie or a seasoned pro, I have some tips that’ll make your experience a breeze.
Packing for a music fest is so much more than just tossing some cute outfits and a toothbrush into your bag. There’s a ton of not-so-sexy stuff that need to come along for the ride too. For starters, the bathroom situations are usually a hot mess, so having feminine wipes on deck is a must. You’re also talking and engaging with a ton of random people, so breath spray, deodorant, and hand sanitizer are also essential.
Since festivals are outdoors, bringing along the best SPF for your face and body is key, even if there’s no sun in sight. To ensure that you can bring everything you need inside the festival gates, most places are requiring clear bags for security reasons (unfortunately, you can’t pack everything in your favorite tote bag). And, to be able to rely on having a full battery on your phone, a portable charger is non-negotiable. Of course, I’m also discussing every beauty product I use to keep everything from my skin to my hair extensions safe. Below is my music festival packing list for staying hydrated to keeping warm at night, avoiding feet pain, and everything in between. Happy festival SZN!
