To help out our fellow festival go-ers, here's a little breakdown of what to bring on your trip to Grant Park. So grab a backpack and grab...
Water!!! - You are allowed to bring with you factory-sealed bottles of water or empty ones. We'd recommend you bring at least 3 of either. There are several water stations around the park where you can refill. With the heat plus the addition of being surrounded by tens of thousands of other fans around you, it's SUPER important that you stay hydrated and pace yourself!
Sunscreen and Bug-repellant: The last thing you want to be worried about when you're waiting for one of your favorite bands to go on is a blistering red face and being under seige by a million mosquitos! Not the best souveniers!!
Toilet Paper or Napkins: While the festival staff do a good job of keeping up with the bathrooms on site, never hurts to be prepared!!
Blanket: It's actually multi-purpose. A blanket, mat, or beach towel comes in handy to sit on while enjoying a break in the shade or lunch. Also, you can throw it down at a stage when you're waiting for a band to come on as a means to stake your territory!
Cash: Seems obvious, but you'll want to bring enough to enjoy the amazing array of food stands that are available as well as get yourself some sweet merch!
Camera: To capture all of your favorite concert memories and share with all those friends who missed out!
So be safe, be nice, and have fun!! We'll see you there!! Then after the fest, email us with your stories and pictures at ThursdayCasserole@gmail.com!!
