Festival Accessories

If there’s one thing we know (other than beer obvs), it’s how to do festivals. And packing light is key. You don’t want to be struggling to stuff all your things back into your bag when you’re tired at the end of the weekend. Pack light – we mean enough t-shirts, shorts, and lightweight waterproofs (you’ll need them) to last the weekend. And underwear, don’t forget those.

Not that we’re biased (we are), but the Beavertown crossbody bag is the ultimate festival bag. It keeps all your bits together. The water resistant polyester fabric keeps your stuff dry. And discourages pickpockets. And it fits everything – phone, wallet, keys, extra Beavertown can, some dry socks, and the kitchen sink. It’s basically the perfect bag.

Choosing what to wear at a festival is easy. Will it rain? (probably.) Will you be able to do laundry? (Most likely not.) Will you be throwing all your clothes into one corner of your tent when you get back at 3am from the mainstage? (Definitely.) You want clothes that can keep up. 

Pack a poncho to help you stay (mostly) dry in the rain. The Beavertown X Rainkiss one is made from recycled bottles too. So you’ll stay dry, look fly, and…. do your bit for the planet while you’re at it. 

You’ll also need t-shirts. Something breathable so you don’t get too hot in the mosh pit. Like 100% organic cotton Beavertown t-shirts. We can’t promise that they won’t end up in a crumpled heap in your tent. But we can promise that they’re oh-so soft and comfortable. And you’ll look cool AF wearing them.  

You don’t have to wear a hat at festivals. But they do look good. And are pretty useful. Keep the sun (if there is any) off your face and neck and beat away the sunburn with a cap. Or wear a bucket hat to feel like you’ve packed your own miniature tent. Either way, Beavertown hats are the coolest, obviously.

Most festivals, including Beavertown Collaboration Sessions, don’t let you bring in your own alcoholic drinks. It’s for safety reasons. But if your chosen festival does allow you to bring in your own bevvies (or if you’re a rebel planning to break the rules), you’ll want to keep those babies cold for as long as possible. Chill them before you head out and keep them in a cooler in the car. Then transfer them to a 9 Can Cosmic Cooler to bring them through the gates. The insulated material keeps them cold and crisp, ready to drink in the sun with your mates.
