Planning tips

  • Screenshot wristband activation steps before you hit Coastal Highway—cell data stalls in dense crowds.
  • Wear shoes that handle sand and boardwalk planks; nights can cool off even when afternoon sun is strong.
  • Bring an empty water bottle, hearing protection, non-aerosol sunscreen (≤3.4 oz), and a small clear bag—skip chairs and umbrellas entirely.
  • If you drive in, use Park & Ride / Convention Center / 100th Street lots; do not hunt curb spaces south of N. Division.
  • Plan your exit before headliner encore—rideshare surge and Beach Bus cutoffs compress after 11 PM let-out.
  • Book lodging early for this three-day weekend; midtown/north stays pair better with Beach Bus or hotel shuttles if you want quieter mornings.
  • Download Festiverse, pull the published schedule, and re-check bag + prohibited lists the morning you go.
  • If you fish the same weekend, keep dawn charters and communicate late returns—bridge and Coastal Highway delays are common after gates.
