Whether you’re a seasoned festival-goer or this is your first time dancing under the stars, packing for the Stargaze Festival is all about blending practicality with creativity. This festival is not just an event; it’s an experience where imagination and free spirit reign supreme. To make the most of your time at Stargaze, here’s the ultimate pack list to ensure you’re prepared for everything, from cosmic costumes to essential supplies.



1. Festival Essentials

Before diving into the fun stuff, make sure you have these basics covered:

  • Tickets & ID: Your festival ticket and a valid ID are your golden tickets to the weekend.

  • Comfortable Clothing: The weather can change, so pack layers! Think lightweight, breathable fabrics for the day and warmer layers for the cooler nights.

  • Sturdy Shoes: You’ll be on your feet a lot, so bring comfortable, durable shoes for dancing and exploring.

  • Reusable Water Bottle: Stay hydrated throughout the festival. Many festivals have water refill stations, so a reusable bottle is eco-friendly and essential.

  • Portable Phone Charger: Keep your phone charged for capturing memories and staying connected with friends.

  • Personal Care Items: Sunscreen, lip balm, hand sanitizer, and biodegradable wet wipes are must-haves.

  • Toiletries: Don’t forget your toothbrush, toothpaste, and any other personal hygiene items.

  • First Aid Kit: Pack band-aids, pain relievers, any prescription medications, and anything else you might need for minor injuries or ailments.



2. Camping Gear

If you’re camping at Stargaze, your comfort and shelter are key to an enjoyable experience:

  • Tent: Choose a tent that’s easy to set up and has enough room for you and your gear.

  • Sleeping Bag: A warm, comfortable sleeping bag is crucial for chilly nights.

  • Sleeping Pad or Air Mattress: For added comfort, don’t forget a sleeping pad or inflatable mattress.

  • Camp Chair: A lightweight, foldable chair is great for relaxing at your campsite.

  • Lantern or Flashlight: Illuminate your campsite with a lantern or flashlight (and don’t forget extra batteries!).

  • Trash Bags: Keep your campsite clean and respect the environment by packing out your trash.



3. Food & Food Storage

  • Cooler with food & drinks; Remember we do not sell any food at the festival. You will bring your own food & drink.

  • A storage bin with lid to pack your food away: We do not want to attract unwanted guest.

  • Something to share: Its fun to bring stuff to share with your neighbors.

  • We do sell Ice if you need to refill



4. Costumes and Festival Outfits

This is where your creativity can truly shine. The Stargaze Festival is the perfect place to express yourself:

  • Cosmic Costumes: Think galaxy prints, starry capes, and anything that glows. Whether you’re channeling your inner alien, celestial being, or a whimsical festival fairy, let your imagination run wild.

  • Glow Sticks and LED Accessories: Light up the night with glow sticks, LED jewelry, or light-up shoes. The brighter, the better!

  • Face Paint and Glitter: Go all out with face paint, glitter, and temporary tattoos to add a bit of sparkle to your festival look.

  • Headpieces, Hats, wigs: Crowns, flower headbands, or wide-brimmed hats can add a unique touch to your ensemble.



5. Decorations for Your Campsite

Make your campsite a part of the festival atmosphere:

  • Tapestries and Flags: Hang colorful tapestries or flags to mark your space and create a cozy vibe.

  • Fairy Lights and Lanterns: String up some fairy lights or lanterns around your tent to keep the party going after dark. Solor or batery opperated is best.

  • Inflatable Furniture: Lightweight, inflatable couches or chairs can add comfort and style to your space.

  • Chalkboard or Sign: A small chalkboard or sign with your camp name can help friends find you in the sea of tents.

The most important things to pack for the Stargaze Festival aren’t tangible:

  • A Sense of Adventure: Embrace the unexpected and be open to new experiences, new people, and the magic of the festival.

  • Free Spirit: Let go of your everyday worries and immerse yourself in the festival’s vibrant energy.

  • Positive Vibes: The festival is a space for joy, creativity, and connection. Bring your best vibes and share them with those around you.

  • Musical Instruments: If you play, bring along a portable instrument like a ukulele, drum, or harmonica to jam with fellow festival-goers.

  • Hammock: Perfect for lounging during the day, a hammock can be a relaxing addition to your campsite.
