It doesn't matter if you're a seasoned raver or a first-time festival goer; knowing how to party appropriately will help you have a fun and secure night. We will go over some key advice for summer music festivals to keep you protected and have a responsible time at parties and festivals. Here are a few tips that you can use to stay safe and party responsibly at raves and music festivals:

6 Essential Festival Safety Tips: 

1. Understand the Festival Culture

First things first, understand the culture of the festival you're attending. This includes knowing the rules, understanding the environment, and respecting the people around you. Researching and preparing beforehand is crucial. Festivals have a FAQ (Frequently Asked Question) page with great information. Information can include what you are allowed to bring, set times, accepted payment methods and location.

2. Stay Hydrated

Dehydration can be a festival-goer's worst enemy, especially when partying in the summer heat! Always have a water bottle handy and remember to refill it regularly. Festivals have water stations to fill up your bottle. Make sure to review the map upon arrival!

3. Protect Your Ears

The volume at raves and festivals can easily exceed safe levels. Consider investing in high-quality earplugs that reduce volume without distorting the music.

3. Look Out for Each Other

A sense of community is at the heart of any festival. Look out for your friends and fellow festival-goers. If you see someone who looks like they might be in trouble, don't hesitate to get help or ask for medical assistance from festival staff.

4. Know Your Limits

When it comes to partying responsibly, knowing your limits is crucial. Whether it's alcohol consumption, dancing hours, or sun exposure, ensure you're not overdoing it. It is also important to be cautious when accepting drinks or consumables from others. You never know what it might contain!

5. Be Aware of Your Surroundings

With the vibrant atmosphere and sensory overload at raves and festivals, it's easy to get lost or disoriented. Always be aware of your surroundings and familiarize yourself with the venue's layout. When going in a group or partner set a designated meeting spot incase of an emergency!

6. Secure Your Belongings

It's important to keep your belongings secure at all times. Use lockers provided by the event organizers or keep items close to you in a secure bag. Fanny packs are highly suggested! We suggest the Lululemon Belt Bags!

6. Use Safe Transportation

Ensure your ride home is secure. Designate a sober driver, use a trusted ride-share service such as Uber or Lyft, or arrange for a friend or family member to pick you up. Some festivals have free public transit or shuttle services. Look at the FAQ page on the website to find out how to get to and from the festival safely!
