ACL Music Festival begins this week!
I gathered my top 10 Must Have’s to help you have a great festival weekend
1.Backpack
I’m going with a backpack this year and of course I found it at Zara! It’ll make everything easier to carry and keep my hands free.
Sporty: Camelbak Arete 18
Trendy: Zara (this is a similar bag to the one I am bringing)
2. Refillable Water Bottle
There will be FREE filling stations located throughout the park that will have triple filtered water! I strongly suggest bringing a refillable water bottle because it is most likely going to be extremely hot. Also, you don’t want to be wasting your money on water the costs about $2 per bottle, when you could be putting that towards buying some amazing food and other beverages.
3. Sunscreen
Banana Boat protect and hydrate sunscreen
4. Lip Balm
Below are some of my go-to lip balms that also has SPF protection
Marc Jacobs Lip lock moisture balm
Chapstick sun defense
Nivea hydrating lipcare
5. Sunglasses
I personally don’t like to bring my more expensive sunglasses to events like these, I already know how I am at concerts and festivals (I’m a dancer so I like to dance all over the place haha) so in the event that I lose them or they get stolen I wont feel so bad. Just something to keep in mind 🙂
My pick: Classic Traveler Sunglasses
6. Backup battery pack
Need to keep your phone charged so you can capture as many moments possible!
Mophie Phone Case
Lipstick-size portable charger
7. Hand Sanitizer and sanitizing wipes
Nothing brings out my inner OCD like public portable restrooms, but you gotta do what you gotta do to survive y’all. So bring your hand sanitizer and even some wipes just in case supplies run out and to clean your hands before you eat!
8. Maps
Yes, the ACL app has a map on there, but you’re going to end up killing your battery life and eat up all your phone data. Trust me, I made this mistake last year…if possible print off maps beforehand and if you want to take it a step further, go ahead and laminate them just in case it rains. However if you run out of time before the festival starts you can definitely find someone handing them out at the park.
9. Rain poncho
Why?…because it is Texas and the weather is unpredictable
10. Camera
As long as it’s not a professional level camera (SLR, DSLR, anything with a removable lens) then you are good! I will be using the good old iPhone 6s
Now you should be set and ready to go!
Don’t forget to comment below and have a fun and safe ACL weekend!
