How to Plan a Successful Music Festival
When you’re planning your next festival, there are a few things you should keep in mind. You need a plan for the clean-up, you’ll want to do a weather check before hand and double-check all your details before the festivities start.
The first step is to gather a team of volunteers. This will ensure you have a reliable staff that can handle all the tasks required to run your event. Make sure to get all the important people on board and give them enough training to help them feel comfortable with the process. You should also provide them with the equipment they’ll need to perform their duties, such as a cell phone or tablet for messaging, pens and paper to write notes, and a power source.
You should also have a plan for ensuring everyone has something to eat and drink. This will avoid a lot of drama and potential for resentment later on, as well as help the overall experience be more pleasant.
If your event is large, it’s worth investing in a designated food truck. This will reduce the amount of time your event is unable to operate due to a lack of food, and it’ll give you more options for snacks and drinks, too!
It’s also a good idea to plan for a rain check if necessary. This will give you time to implement a rain plan, and you’ll be prepared for the unexpected.
A good food fund is essential to a successful festival. Having a few dollars to spend on a few snacks, or even a few full-sized meals, can make all the difference in the world.
Some festivals have their own food trucks, but others don’t, so make sure you bring enough to cover your needs while you’re there. If you’re planning to do a lot of walking, pack plenty of water and other hydration items, too.
Another must-have for every festival attendee is baby wipes and a pack of them. This will keep you from getting sick and dirty, which is always an unpleasant side effect of a music festival.
You should also carry a pack of tissue or toilet paper and some hand sanitizer. This will come in handy if you need to use the bathroom at any point during your festival.
Lastly, make sure you have your phone fully charged so that you can take photos and share them with friends on social media! Aside from helping you stay organized, a camera is also a great way to remember all the fun you had!
