Camping and Packing
Leaving for a festival weekend always brings it’s own obstacles to overcome compared to the usual weekend adventure. For some, camping is a regular activity in which they’ll likely be rather prepared as well as the seasoned Festival Veteran. Others will be scrambling for last minute items, while some still have no idea what to bring. While items tend to be a bit obvious, there are those items that tend to be forgotten. We highly suggest taking a look at our Not So Obvious Festival Packing Guide for more in depth packing info

We definitely suggest taking a look at our “Not So Obvious Festival Packing Guide” above, but here is a short list of things we certainly suggests you have.
- Your ticket and ID
- A tent
- Clothing for ALL weather types (Be prepared for a rainy day, or a cold night.)
- More socks/underwear than you think you need
- SUNBLOCK
- Water storage (Camelback, refillable bottle…)
- Positive attitude!

Previous years at Paradiso have been no stranger to sun, and lots of if. While the forecast is never for certain, it’s looking like an amazing weekend to enjoy some music outdoors. Currently, the forecast is showing a beautiful weekend with no rain and cool nights. We still advise you to prepare for unexpected rain, and don’t forget a jacket for the night. The cold can creep up on you sometimes and you’ll be thankful you have it.
One thing we can not stress enough is to DRINK PLENTY OF WATER. Even if it doesn’t feel hot to you, your body needs it. USC does a great job providing water stations all over the festival grounds. Familiarize yourself with their locations and use them frequently.
