Summer Music Festivals in Chicago
My name is Nick Vasilevski and I am writing a blog about three music festivals that take place during the summer in Chicago. I attend these festivals almost every year and have a great time. I also included the top 10 tips for attending musical festivals.
Spring Awakening (June 7-9)
Lollapalooza (August 1-4)
North Coast Music Festival (August 30- September 1)
10 Tips for Attending a Music Festivals:
- Make sure your phone is completely charged and bring a portable charger.
- If you don’t want to spend money on water at the festival (they do upcharge) buy a camelback backpack to refill your backpack at the free water refill station.
- Go with a group of friends that you trust.
- Fanny packs and small backpacks are your go to! Store personal belongings instead of holding them. Be prepared to have them checked before entering.
- Take public transportation, Uber’s and Lyft’s are very expensive on festival grounds!
- Make sure you eat before the festival and during the festival.
- Bring sun screen, the sun is beating down on your skin for hours.
- Bring cash, a lot of places don’t accept credit/debit cards.
- Wear festive clothing, be creative!
- Comfortable shoes are your best friend!
DANCE, LAUGH & HAVE FUN!
