Whether you are a first-time Pitchfork goer or a routine raver, it is always a good idea to be prepared.
Things to Pack:
- Water!
- Water in the city costs $2 - which is insane. Pitchfork allows you to bring in two sealed water bottles and trust me, you will need it.
- Sunscreen
- Skin Cancer isn't cool.
- Cellphone Charger
- Pitchfork vendors have charging stations along with free SWAG.
- Sunglasses
- Keep the sun out of your eyes.
- Cellphone
- So that you can play Pokemon Go! of course!
