Packing List for First Timers (not camping)

Hi all,
We’re coming in from Vancouver Canada and staying at the hostel…sadly, we can’t fit all of our camping gear on the plane. But I’ll enjoy the warmth of the hostel :wink:
We’re wondering what to bring / pack for being at the festival all day without heading back home to get anything.
We are Vancouver Folk Festival go’ers…for the last 30 years…so we have an idea, but you never know.
I’m assuming:

  • low chair
  • tarp blanket
  • water bottle
  • backpack
  • sunscreen
  • hat
  • hand sanitizer
  • layers - but what??

Thank you! We’re so looking forward to this :slight_smile: It’s our big trip of the year…and we travel a lot.

How are you with altitude? Coming from Australia I pack altitude sickness tablets and I bring a small can of oxygen. It helps! I’d add lip balm and sunglasses cause the sun is warm and it’s dry. ( unless it rains which it does so pack a plastic poncho ). I bring sun screen but there is also plenty on-site. Enjoy, it’s sooooooooooo much fun
