Ready to grab your calendar and mark down all this year’s festival dates? Not yet? Then it’s about time—because some tickets sell out fast. For those who’ve already planned their year full of festivals and concerts—and of course for those who still will—here are our 5 ultimate bag tips for your festival visits!
Tip 1: Fanny Packs
With trendy belt bags, you can carry your money, phone, and ID close to your body and stay well protected from pickpockets. Plus, your hands stay free for drinks!
Tip 2: Stylish Backpacks
A backpack—especially one in hippie style—is a must-have at any festival: it offers plenty of space for snacks, sunscreen, water, and a cloth (for your hair, sun protection, or as a blanket).
Tip 3: Fringe Bags
A must-have this summer: fringe bags. Perfect for festivals because they offer enough space and look great in photos!
Tip 4: Bucket Bags
For those who always carry a bit more and aren’t really backpack people, bucket bags are perfect! These bags with their signature drawstring closure look super chic and have plenty of room for all your favorite essentials—like refreshing thermal spray for your festival-worn skin. ;-)
Tip 5: Tote Bags
The classic tote bag is always a winner. Available in many colors, with or without prints, and easy to dance with on your shoulder. Perfect for those who like it simple and uncomplicated.
Backpack or bag for the festival?
With a bag, you have your belongings more in view, but backpacks hold much more. Weigh both options and choose the one that makes you feel safest.
But it’s not just about the right bag for the festival. We also want to share some practical festival tips for valuables and useful advice, so you can fully enjoy your festival summer without anything spoiling the fun.
Our 5 super practical festival tips:
Tip 1: Leave what you don’t need in the car. Don’t carry too much onto the festival grounds. The walk from your tent to the festival area can be long, and valuables are safest in the car.
Tip 2: Comfortable shoes. You’ll have to walk between tent and festival, and want to last on the dance floor without sore feet. Don’t forget rubber boots for rainy weather!
Tip 3: Warm clothes for the night. Even in summer, nights can get chilly. Pack a cardigan or large scarf that can be used in multiple ways.
Tip 4: Bring your own drinks in the car. Festival tickets and on-site drink prices can be pricey. It’s always good to have a stash of drinks and snacks in the car.
Tip 5: Waterproof bags for spare clothes. If it suddenly rains, you’ll have dry change clothes handy—this prevents freezing in wet clothes and lowers your chances of catching a nasty cold.
With these tips, you’re perfectly prepared to enjoy every festival to the fullest. Pack your bags and backpacks, grab your friends, and get ready for unforgettable experiences and great music!
