How to prepare for a music festival
After traveling in Europe last summer, me and my sister finished off our vacation by going to another major music festival just outside of Manchester called Creamfields. This festival is also one designated to electronic music and since I am such a passionate electronic fan I had the BEST experience! On this page I will explore some tips and advice for going to a music festival and how you can prepare for such an exciting experience!
how to dress
At any music festival, it's always fun to get a little creative and have some fun with your attire! At Creamfields, my sister and I made our our t-shirts and cut and beaded them. We got a lot of attention for having these shirts and they were a fantastic conversation starter!
If you're not into making your own shirt, you might as well experiment with something funky! If you're going to a music festival you have the opportunity to wear something you couldn't typically get away with. Electric Daisy Carnival is famous for it's audience wearing ridiculous and outrageous outfits. The photo on the right is an example of some of the flamboyant clothing that people sport at EDC. Although I won't be wearing anything that crazy, it will be interesting to see what some people come up with!
