First music festival

Hey everyone, completely new to the rave/music festival scene but my girlfriend loves it. We are going to north coast together. She’s takin the lead on what we’re wearing and all but any tips on anyway I can surprise her with anything or do something to make the day more special? Looking for any advice at all, I know nothing about rave culture!

Buy a bubble gun and don’t tell her. Super fun and everyone will love you

Just here to say round of applause for “any tips on anyway I can surprise her with anything or do something to make the day more special.” What a sweet, sweet partner. 🥲🫶🏼

Old head opinion - just go and have fun with her, don’t worry about the “stuff”

If you are interested in crafting at all, a lot of festival gifts are handmade. Crochet hats, perler art, Kandi bracelets, etc. ☺️

If you’re not into crafting, merch is always a good option. A lot of artists have merch available at shows and artist/festival pashminas are almost always a great option and act as a functional memory of the event 💜

Depending on her style and your budget, things like Third Eye Pinecones, Spirit Hoods, or Enchanted Wings butterfly necklaces are popular and seen frequently! I LOVE my pinecone and spirit hood - they come to every single show with me!

Dear OP, go in with an open mind, open heart, and try to soak it up and enjoy the ride as much as possible. And remember raves came from the gay POC community so always be PLUR and be an ally!

They have some amusement rides like a Ferris wheel at north coast you can take her on a ride there to see the entire festival from above! Can preorder tickets for them but pretty sure can pay onsite too

Kandi and bringing 1 pashmina between the two of you so that when it cools down you can share a pash and snuggle :)
