Tips for July festival travel

Pack for the season, double-check rain policies on the official festival site, and consider arriving the night before opening day to settle in. Most large festivals open the gates earlier than first-time visitors expect — on a Saturday in July, you should plan to be on-site at least an hour before the headliner begins.
