Safety Tips for Festival-Goers
Going to a music festival can be an amazing experience. With plenty of events lined up, such as Stagecoach and Coachella in Indio, CA, you may have tickets to a couple of music festivals yourself (if you are one of the lucky ones!). While it's tempting to let loose during these events, it's even more important to stay safe. Before you head out to your one-day or weekend-long event, check out the following music festival safety tips!
Plan your commute - Whether you're hitching a lift with friends, taking the bus, or driving yourself, always plan your route well in advance so that you know exactly what to do and where to go. When you arrive at the campsite, try to find a well-lit plot to park.
Learn your way around - When you arrive at the festival, make sure you find out where medical staff are stationed. Take a map and study it well so that you know where the emergency services are, should you need one.
Stay hydrated - Partying and watching your favorite bands play under the blazing sun can quickly dehydrate you. To prevent this, drink plenty of water, especially if you're sipping on alcoholic beverages.
Watch your drinks - Never leave your drink unattended and don't share or accept drinks from people you don't know and trust. Better still, buy and pour your own drinks.
Take a first-aid kit - Always have the essentials on hand: Bandages, asthma inhaler, antiseptic, water, and any medications that you require.
Take regular breaks - Heatstroke can easily happen, especially under the hot summer sun. Cool down by drinking lots of water and chilling out in a tent or a shaded area.
Leave valuables at home - Avoid lugging around your camera, expensive watch, fine jewelry, and pricey possessions. They are likely to get lost, or worse, stolen. If you do need to take anything valuable, make use of the locker facilities. Make a note of your bank's emergency number so you can call them if you lose your cards.
Help each other - If you come across someone who looks like they need help, don't just walk by. Ask them if they are okay, help them out of the crowd if need be, offer them water, and call emergency services if you grow concern.
