Tips for festival packing

Packing for a festival can be difficult and time-consuming. However, do never underestimate the importance of getting packing right – being prepared for all possible eventualities is crucial.

  • Only bring what is needed: remember that everything must be carried to and from the festival.
  • Have the weather in mind when packing: bring clothing for all weathers.
  • Think in layers and bring extra clothing for changes of weather or emergencies.
  • Pack in packing cubes: separating stuff makes keeping everything clean and sorted easier.
  • If a group is going together, planning together can minimise what each individual has to bring.

How to pack for a festival?

Forgetting something important when packing for a festival is irritating - Making sure to bring everything can be done by following a packing list. No matter how long the festival lasts and how many belongings to bring, pack everything in as little space as possible as well as in suitable bags. To bring about important values during the day, bring a small bag that is comfortable to walk around with all day long. If the festival calls for overnight stays, bring a bigger bag, preferably waterproof. When packing the bag, place the least necessary belongings at the bottom of the bag and the most necessary at the top – this will ensure, that the most important belongings are easy to reach and always accessible.

Packing properly will make the experience much better.
