Festivals provide an amazing way to spend quality time,  enjoying with friends. However, what is most important before heading off to any festival is packing of festival essentials. But, make sure that you do not stockpile things that cause inconvenience. So, whether you are planning to go to a music festival, a book festival, or any other such occasion, here I have a festival checklist for you that consists of ten absolute musts to take along to a festival. This will definitely improve your festival experience.

Ten Essentials that you can bring along a festival 

Here is a list of most important things that are a must for your festival trip.

1. Festival ticket  

Obviously, the foremost thing to keep in your bag is your festival ticket. So, be careful to put it first. I remember an incident of going to a music festival with my friends. When we reached there, I realized that I forgot the tickets on my table, as I thought I would pick them at the last moment. Guess what ? Unfortunately, the whole excitement fizzled out, with me turning out to be a wet blanket for all. 

2. Money or credit card 

Do not forget to keep money with you for your needs. If you are not comfortable keeping money, you may have a card with you. There usually are ATMs near festival sites, so you would not have any problem. And if the festival is abroad, then make sure does that card work there too? Make all the arrangements earlier to avoid any such trouble. 

3. Your phone 

There is no way to connect with your friends without your phone. Obviously , you will be keeping it with you, but have you put it out carefully?  Make sure it is safely packed. Do not let it get robbed, otherwise it may spoil your event. Keep a waterproof pouch for your phone. 

4. A good camera 

How can a festival experience be complete without capturing the beautiful moments? You would definitely want to freeze the lovely time spent with your friends and family at a festival. So do not forget to grab your camera and selfie stick(of course, selfies are a must). Make sure to keep a good quality camera so that you have maximum storage to click as much as you want. 

5. Medications 

You can only have a great time at festivals if you are in good spirits and hale and hearty. Sometimes traveling may tire you, or the weather will make you feverish or your nose runny. You would not be wanting to search for a doctor over there. So, make sure to keep a few medicines that you may need. 

6. Water and snacks 

You may get thirsty or you can have a craving to eat something while chilling out at a festival.  It may get difficult to sneak out and get some snacks and water bottles. So better keep these with you. Take along nuts and crisps and water bottles with you to eat back at your camp as well. 

7. Toiletries 

Toiletries are one of the most important things on your festival checklist. You must look good and clean at the festival. So, there are a few things that you should add on your festival checklist. Keep with you toothpaste, tooth brush, sunscreen, wet wipes, tissues, perfume, soap, and moisturizer. And you would also want to stay safe, so do not forget to put a sanitizer in your bag.

8. Light and comfy tent 

Well, you should also add a tent on the list. Make sure to choose it according to the weather. Furthermore, it would be better if you get a pillow and a bed sheet as well.  It will provide you with shelter and safety. Moreover, it will make your stay comfortable and happier, making you a cozy place to take a nap. 

9. Stove and disposable utensils 

You will crave for morning coffee, or a cup of tea with friends would be a must for you to spend the night amazingly. So, keep a stove with you along with disposable utensils. You can also enjoy cooking noodles with your friends, if you want to eat something spicy and juicy. 

10. Torch and lighting 

If you have not thought about it, let me remind you.  Wondering why ? Well, you would not want to be bumping into everything as it gets dark.  Also, you would not be spending time in your tent without light. So, get a festival torch and make arrangements for lighting your tent as well to make your experience amazing.
