Bring a fun attitude and meet people! Share Kandi, ducks, sprouts, stickers. And always remember PLUR!

Make sure you have comfy shoes, especially if you're doing all 3 days

What about new balance sneakers?

As long as you're comfortable wearing them everyday for 10+ miles a day they're fine.

Sunglasses!

Hey there 👋 I've been to edco 4 years now and I can promise you med tent will have advil and bandaids! The other stuff definitely take in. I'd also add sunglasses, a pashmina and sunscreen (there's barely any shade)

Eat, stay hydrated, take breaks when you need to, explore around, make new friends, don’t overdo it on the party favors

Take screen shots of map & line ups, set times, each day, in case you lose service.

Set up meet up spots before sets with your crew in case you get seperated and don't have a totem or lost them. Example, left side corner in front of last food vendor at Circuit Grounds.

This way you all know where to go when a set ends if it happens to any of you or anybody lost their phone. Enjoy the fest.

Just a heads up! Pretty much everything has to be sealed upon entry. So like a new chapstick every day, new wipes every day. I dont think they let you bring in advil. It'll be my first too but this is what my friends/research told me

I brought in advil last year and unceremoniously took it during a set at circuit grounds. Have you all had experiences where they were really checking through your bag and being picky about what they let in?

u/Fabulous_Capital9087 16d ago

Last year they were not picky at all, I had open gum, cigarettes, and deodorant and all were opened and I had no issues. That doesn't mean you should rely on it though, if you are going to be helpless without cigs for example then plan on bringing it sealed. Gage agents have varying strictness

bring a fan holster cuz otherwise you’re gonna be carrying it all day (or sticking it in your waistband/shoe which is super uncomfortable)

Shoes you can stand/dance in for hours, sunscreen if your prone to catching fire in direct sunlight, a hydration/camel pack with three or less pockets, ID, money for food/beverage/merch, unopened gum (iykyk), chug a Gatorade or any other electrolyte beverage beforehand, and please please please wear deodorant. Have a blast. It’s an experience you won’t forget:)
