44 Festival Accessories, Gear, and Must-Haves | The Best Festival Packing List

Festival Accessories, Festival Essentials, Festival Gear, Music Festivals

Looking for the best festival accessories and festival must haves!? Well, you’ve come to the right place!  I’ve been traveling and going to music festivals around the world for a decade now, and I know I need a thing or two about essential festival gear!  It’s really important to feel prepared for a music festival, so I’ve compiled this packing list with these essential festival accessories and gear! 

So whether you’re partying it up on the polo fields at Coachella, raving in the massive crowds at Tomorrowland, or getting lost in the dust at the legendary Burning Man – if you’ve got these festival accessories and gear you’ll be ready for everything. While the industry has obviously taken a hit in recent times, it’s bound to make a huge recovery, so keep reading for and get prepared by grabbing some fresh festival dance equipment!

Are you camping at an upcoming music festival…?

Check out my Ultimate Music Festival Camping Packing List

Festival Accessories 2021

 

1) Lunchbox Hydration Pack

First up on any list of essential festival accessories has got to be a high-quality hydration pack! I’m a huge believer that to enjoy a festival properly, you need to make sure you’re drinking plenty of water, and the best way to ensure you do that is by having the right gear. While there are tons of options to choose from, I’d say that this incredible Lunchbox Hydration Pack is the best available in the market. 

All of their products are extremely well thought out, made from high-quality material (so they’re built to last for years), and they’re also stylish with unique and customizable skins. It’s also been designed with anti-theft in mind to avoid pickpockets in crowds, as well as a fast refill system which helps you breeze through water lines.

What I also love about Lunchbox as a company is they’ve got a massive community in the festival industry, and often host meetups, events, and are making an effort to make a difference for everyone in the scene. 

Price:  $79 – $99 USD

2) Portable Charger

If you’re anything like me at music festivals, you’re probably using your phone quite often to take photos with your friends, record your favorite artist’s sets, and posting Instagram stories, Snapchats, or going live on Facebook.  Your phone is also crucial to ordering UBER’s to get home at the end of the night, and messaging friends throughout the day. I’d definitely say it’s one of the most common equipment used at festival dance events. 

So with that being said – you need to make sure your phone is charged at all times!  I always carry a backpack that has at least one or two fully charged portable chargers, because they really do come in handy often!

While I do think any portable charger will really do the job, here are a couple that I’ve personally used, love, and think work perfectly!

Anker PowerCore Portable Charger: I think this might just be the BEST option for music festivals! It’s extremely lightweight and small, so won’t be an inconvenience to carry around during the day – but it also packs a big punch with 10,000 mah capacity.  This means it can charge an iPhone X 2.6 times, an iPhone 7 3.6 times, and a Galaxay S9 2.3 times.  It’s also one of the most cost-efficient portable chargers being priced at $25.99.  It’s one Amazon’s recommend products, and is highly-reviewed!  (Read Reviews & Check Availability)

Xcentz Mini Portable Charger  – If you’re looking for the smallest portable charger out there, then this is the one for you.  While it only holds a 3350mAh capacity, it will fit in your pocket/ fanny-pack with ease, and won’t weigh you down at all. It’s a very well constructed product, and it’s built to last.  If for some reason it doesn’t work though, the company offers a 24-month ‘no questions asked’ warranty, which I think is a huge bonus.   It’s also one of Amazon’s top recommended products, and everyone seems to love it!  (Read Reviews & Check Availability)

3) Fanny Packs | Bum Bags

Not a fan of wearing a backpack at festivals…?  I completely understand, but you’re still going need somewhere to hold your stuff!  Luckily, fanny packs (or bumbags depending on where you’re from) have made a fashionable return thanks to music festivals, and companies are creating some truly awesome styles to keep you looking good on the dance floor.  It really just depends on how big of a pack you need, and what you plan on putting inside.  In my experience, a decent-sized bag will defintiely be useful, as you never know what you’ll need to store.

Check out of my favorites below.  I’ve purchased both of these and worn them at music festivals in Australia as well as California festivals.

SoJourner Holographic Rave | $15.99 | Colorful, shiny, and multiple designs.  The SoJourner brand is well repsected, and I really love my fanny pack I bought from them last year!  It’ll fit well, look great, and comes with complete satisfaction guarantee.  (Read Reviews & Browse Designs)

Festival Accessories

 

4) Polarized Sunglasses 

You can’t go to a music festival without a comfortable pair of sunnies!  I typically bring two pairs (with one as backup in my bag) just in case myself or a friend loses theirs.  I have sensitive eyes thanks to Lasik eye surgery, and I really don’t like direct sunlight.  I even get some use out of these at night, because the mainstages at festivals lights are crazy bright, and the light shows are just a bit intense.

There are some really cheap and affordable pairs online that will do the job perfectly.  I would personally leave the designer glasses at home during music festivals because I feel like it’s a pretty common item to lose!  For example, I lost my favorite pair of RayBan’s during Outside Lands Festival 2018.

Retro Classic Polarized Sunglasses | $14.95 | These are proof you won’t need to spend $200 for a sturdy and comfortable pair of stylish sunglasses.  I wear the “Wayfarer” style pretty much every day of my life and have personally ordered this brand several times (I lose sunglasses quite often, unfortunately).

Festival Gear

 

5) Festival Bandana

The bandana has become a staple when it comes to festival accessories and rave gear, and I think it’s a really great look!  They’re practical as well, and can be used in tons of different ways.

Check out this awesome video about different ways you can wear a bandana to a festival.  I’m personally a big fan of this style, and I’m pretty much always rocking bandanas no matter what event I’m at.

6) Comfortable Dancing Shoes

What are the best shoes to wear to a music festival…?  Well, that’s a good question – and there are tons of different answers!  I think the most important thing is that they are comfy, and won’t have a problem walking/ dancing in them all-day!

Here are just a couple popular and affordable pairs that I know would be great for music festivals:

Adidas Campus Sneakers  – These have been my go-to festival shoe for quite a while!  I’ve always loved the simplistic style with the classic three stripes on the side.  They’ve got a bunch of different colors, and they’re decently affordable.  I’ve definitely boughten several pairs of these in the past couple of years.

Vans Authentic Trainers  – You can never go wrong with a pair of Vans!  These go with every festival outfit, are perfect for long days out exploring and perfect for everyday use.

Festival Accessories

 

7) Earplugs

Let’s talk about ear safety! It’s obviously really loud at festivals/ raves, and you NEED to take some precautions to keep yourself from experiencing permanent hearing loss!  Unfortunately, I feel like I’ve already done some serious damage to my eardrums at music festivals, and there’s nothing I can do to fix it.

I can’t believe how many I see at the very front of music festival stages without this festival essential, because it really can cause some serious issues for you in the future.  Take it from me – buy yourself some decent earplugs, and protect yourself!!

You obviously don’t need to wear them the whole festival, but just when you’re at a festival and you can feel that the bass is rather heavy!  Read this article 7 Tips To Protect Your Ears During Festival Season if you need more convincing!

There are a ton of different brands out there, but I think it’d be best to invest in a professional pair!  They can make a big difference

EarGasm High Fedility for Festivals | $34.88 | “PROTECT YOUR HEARING from harmful noise levels at loud events. Cut out excess sound from everyday life and your favorite activities.  PRESERVES SOUND QUALITY with our patent pending innovative attenuation filters. Reduces noise evenly to maintain the full spectrum of sound while protecting hearing. Won’t muffle music or voices as foam plugs do.”  (Read Reviews & Check Availability)

Festival Gear Earplugs

 

8) Bio-Degradable Glitter

Glitter has definitely become a festival favorite in recent years, and it really can be a pretty epic addition to your festival outfit.  While this is probably more common among the ladies, I’ve seen plenty of gentleman rock glitter on their faces & arms at various festivals.

What’s great is that you can buy a combo pack of different colors, and match it to your festival outfits each day. Here’s a few awesome and budget-friendly for top-notch bio-degradable festival glitter!

Minke Biodegradable Glitter (Multi Color Combo)  – “Soft and safe to use on your face and skin as glitter makeup, kids glitter crafts, glitter tattoos, sparkly slime etc. Mix with Aloe gel for a natural, safe way to apply for children.”

ELECTRIK Holographic Chunky Glitter (Various Colors)  – “Electrik Glitter is a holographic chunky festival & rave cosmetic grade glitter sourced from the plant cellulose found in Eucalyptus Tree’s. Perfect for face body hair and nails.  Our glitter degrades with the presence of micro-organisms found in the oceans, or in the dirt/grass at a music festival. Plastic and polyester glitter takes up to 400 years to biodegrade!”

Festival Gear

 

9) Chines Folding Hand Fan

Music Festivals can get super hot and sweaty, and having one of these Chinese handheld fans can be a game-changer!  I recently added a music festival in Bali (where I’m currently living), and bringing one of these was so fantastic!  Not only is it one of the most fun and fashionable festival accessories, but it’s super lightweight and useful!  I also found it to be a really helpful and a fun way to make friends, lol.  If you’re going sto parting somewhere super hot, then definitely bring along one of these.  I also just discovered this awesome company that makes these perfect festival gear.

Chines Folding Hand Fan (Galaxy Nebula):  The best Kung Fu Tai Chi folding hand-held fans.  100% handmade with high quality Fabric & Bamboo.  Opens to 13 x 25.5 inches, Folds to 13 x 1 x 0.5 inches.  Large Fan Opens with a snap of the wrist!

10) Strobing Electroluminescent LED Wire

This cheap glowing LED wire is a super easy way to make a simply festival outfit pop!  I’ve tried and tested this myself, and I just love it.  Just put the battery pack in your bumbag, and wrap it around your waist, up through your jacket, or around your hat.  Tons of different things to do with it, but it’s a really great look!

Festival Essentials

 

11) Festival Leggings

In recent years, I’ve become a huge fan of wearing leggings to festivals!  My friend gifted me a pair at Envision Festival in Costa Rica, and ever since I’ve been addicted.  I wear a pair of leggings at almost every festival now, and I personally think they are an essential festival gear must have!

There are so many companies that make quality products, but here a couple I recommend.

Revolver Fashion Leggings: I actually met the owners of this small boutique festival accessory company, and I’ve been loving their product line ever since.  Really awesome people and they make some epic stuff.  “80% Nylon / 20% Spandex  EXTREME COMFORT! Our SUPER high quality 4-way stretch spandex is heavy duty so you can kick and lunge like a superhero year after year! (80% Nylon 20% Spandex) Smooth, ultra stretchy, and durable.  HIGH-QUALITY MATERIAL: Swim quality spandex which isn’t sheer and will last season after season. High-quality products for the high-quality man.  MACHINE WASHABLE: Washing Revolver Fashion products is no sweat! ? Even our special holographic prints can be machine washed! Our products are made to live in, not to worry about!”  

Ndoobiy Women’s Yoga/ Festival Leggings: For only $12.99, you can choose between 30+ different designs of amazing leggings!  If you’re on a tigher budget but still want a great and stylish product, then I’d go with this one.  “88% polyester, 12% spandex.Super Soft, Light, and Comfortable Leggings. Easy to dress up or down! Buttery smooth and soft fabric quality.  One Size Fits (0-12)Plus Size Fits (12-24). Consists of strong stretchy elastic waistband to give you an overall comfortable experience.  No fade or shrink: 3D print is used in our pattern, making the pattern unique and beautiful. The high quality of 3D print tech also ensures that the leggings don’t fade or shrink after washing.

Festival Must Haves

 

12) Festival FACE MASK

I’ve become a big fan of all of these different face masks, and they’re perfect for the late night festival look.  If you combine it with a cool hat and some sunglasses, it can be super fashionable.  As well, it can be really practical if you’re attending a music festival with crazy weather/ dust storms.  I also use mine when I’m in a porter potty to block the nasty smell from entering my nose, lol.

I personally bought 2x of these Into the AM face masks, and you’ll definitely find at least one or two designs yourself that will match perfectly with your outfits.  “100% Microfiber Polyester.  STRETCHY FIT: One size fits most (adults & kids).  MULTI-FUNCTIONAL DESIGN: 10+ ways to wear it – neckerchief, headband, wristband, mask, hair-band, balaclava, face scarf, beanie, bandana, and more.  LIGHTWEIGHT, BREATHABLE, SUN PROTECTION: The moisture wicking fabric transfers heat and humidity away from your body and outside of the seamless bandanna, keeping you cool. The quick dry fabric technology lets your face mask dry in minutes, instead of hours. Wear it as a face mask to protect your face from getting burned from the sun!  PERFECT ACCESSORY: dusty music festivals, concerts, biking, raves, and outdoor sports like paintball, hiking, yoga, exercising, yard work, riding or whenever you want to live dust free.”

I feel like socks are often overlooked when you think about different outfits/ festival accessories, but I know that an epic pair of socks can really make an outfit pop!  There are quite literally hundreds of different colorful socks online, it’s just finding the right pair that you really love:

I’m personally a huge fan of these WeciBor Men’s Colorful Fancy Socks.  They’ve got so many epic designs, the material is high-quality, and eveyrone on Amazon seems to love them!

14) State / Country Flag

Ever since attending Tomorrowland for the first time back in 2012, I have LOVED carrying around and repping my California flag when I’m at different festivals.  It’s a fantastic way to meet people, and really is a super cheap and fun festival must have!

I particurily like repping my flag when I’m traveling to festivls overseas.  If you’re going to a local festival your home state, you couls always just use it as a flag for your campsite.

16) Baby Wipes

Never underestimate the power of having baby wipes at music festivals!!  As much as I love a good festival, they can also be pretty grimy places! This tends to happen when you get a ton of sweaty drunk people all dancing around together, lol.

I never go to the bathroom at a music festival without being locked and loaded with some refreshing baby wipes, and I think it’s one of the most important festival accessories!  I’ve tried a bunch of different brands before, but I honestly love the new Amazon Elements brand.  Value pack, so you can stock up and keep some in your car, campsite, and backpack

They’re also always a great gift share with new festival friends!

Where is your next music festival going to be…?  Have you checked the weather?  Unfortunately, rainy days can happen at music festivals, so it can be a smart decision to come prepared and bring a fun and colorful poncho to keep you relatively dry!  This is 100% essential if you’re going to music festivals in places like Washington, Oregon, Scotland, Iceland, or Leeds for example.

I love this brand Freesmily because they have dozens of different colors and designs, and it’s one of Amazon’s top recommend products.  “Material: 100% polyester fiber.

20) LED RAVE GLOVES

Whether you want to give people light shows or just have fingers that glow, a pair of rave gloves can be an awesome addition to your festival accessories.  They’re quite popular at raves, and I’ll always enjoy watching “glovers” give mesmerizing performances to people for their first time, lol.

When I was raver way many years ago and attending festivals like EDC & Beyond Wonderland, my rave squad and I would spend the entire festival blowing people’s minds with our gloving skills!  While I haven’t done that in a long damn time, it’s tons of fun!

35) Face & Body Jewels/ Rhinestones

“The jewels are your secret formula to release your superstar glow. Dance, laugh, love and shine your inner light. Wear these on your forehead at weddings and festivals, on your cheekbones in Ibiza, in your hair braids for summer pool parties and on your nails for embellished nail art.

Jewelry inspired self-adhesive body and face jewels. All gems come pre-attached so application is quick and easy; just peel and stick so there’s no need for the individual rhinestone application. Apply just like any other sticker and can be reused several times over. Once the glue has dried out they can be reapplied with eyelash or body glue.”

37) Desert Scarf / Pashmina Shawl

A desert headscarf or a pashmina shawl can be a really stylish look for your next festival.  With lots of different ways of wrapping it, and loads of colors and styles to choose from – it’s one of my personal favorite festival must haves.  While it’s obviously essential at places like Burning Man, it looks good everywhere else!

  • “STUNNING COLORS: Gorgeous sparkling black multicolor infinity scarf with shades of black, dark green, pink, merlot, blue, orange, cream, pops of sparkling metallic gold lurex.
  • THE GO-TO SCARF: Festive party ready, dressy, classy, exotic and pretty boho chic crochet look circle loop scarf dazzles and sparkles, will get you noticed and showered with COMPLIMENTS!”

39) Bohemian Flower Headband

” This bohemian floral halo headpiece is appropriate for any occasion, such as festivals, wedding, party, beach, snapshot, etc”.  These have become super popular at music festivals in recent years, and for a good reason! I think they look great, and can be the perfect accessory to well with a nice sunny/floral outfit.

40) INTO THE AM Men’s Graphic Tank Top

42) BURT’S BEES MOISTURIZING LIP BALM + Retractable Holder

Festivals can be very drying on your lips, so I think carrying some really nice moisturizing lip balm is absolutely essential!  If you want to take it to the next level, just attach it to a belt loop, and use it as needed.  I’m a big fan Burt’s Bees, and never go to a festival with it! They’ve got some really cool flavors to choose from as well which can taste particularly amazing if you’re under the influence, lol.

Zip Stick Retractable Lip Balm Holder:  $8.99

Burt’s Bees 100% Natural Moisturizing Lip Balm:  $3.99

 

43)  Venus to Mars Female Urination Device

While I have never needed to use this, I could only imagine how big of a lifesaver this can be for the ladies attending music festivals!  Porter potties tend to be disgusting places, so this little contraption can really be a gamechanger!

  • “PEE STANDING UP– With our Female Urination Device, you no longer have to hover over public bathroom toilets, squat over dirty porta potties, or crouch behind bushes. Now you can take a stand and start peeing standing up without getting undressed
  • EASY TO USE AND LEAK PROOF- Its so easy to use that ladies and girls of all ages will be standing to pee like a pro in no time. The flexible urine funnel fits snuggly against your body to make a reliable spill and leak proof seal and the long spout keeps your clothes and shoes clean.
  • PORTABLE AND DISCREET– The feminine urinary devices small, lightweight, and foldable design allows it to travel with you on all your adventures. It comfortably fits in your purse, bag, backpack, or car glove compartment.”

Price:  $11.45 (Read Reviews & Check Availability)

 

44) GoPro Hero 7

I bought my GoPro Hero 7 two months ago, and it’s honestly one of my new favorite possessions!  I obviously get a lot out of it as a professional travel-blogger, but I think it might just be the best festival camera!  It’s super compact, and the footage is truly epic!  The video stabilization is seriously out of this world, and you’ll be able to capture some really great moments using it.

Price:  $16.99 (Read Reviews & Check Availability
