It is good to make a checklist. Plan on bringing the items you would normally take for a camping trip for the weekend. There is not very much shade at the main stage area, so be prepared to protect yourselves and your young ones from the sun and dehydration. Be sure to bring sunscreen, first aid kit, FM radio, food, beverages and snacks, towels, blankets, small chairs for stage watching, sun hats, rain gear, warm clothing for unpredictable northern Michigan weather. A good tent and sleeping gear is also a must if you are camping. Please do not bring things of value! Blissfest cannot be responsible for lost items. Plan responsibly and you will increase your chances of greater Bliss!
