A hip hop festival is a fun, vibrant, and creative environment where people come together to celebrate music, dance, and community. As with any large gathering, it's important to stay safe while having a good time at a music festival. Below are a few tips to help you in this process.

The Safety Tips for Attending a Hip Hop Festival

1. Go With a Friend

Aim to attend with at least one other person so you can look out for one another. After arriving at the festival site, designate a central place where the two of you can meet up in case you get separated.

This is a good protective measure since you may not be able to rely on cell phones; perhaps coverage is spotty in the area or the battery on one of your phones runs out. Try to keep tabs on your friends. Know where they're at, be mindful of how much both of you drink, and keep an eye on one another's belongings, like purses and backpacks.

2. Party Responsibly

A hip hop festival is the perfect occasion to let your hair down and party. But do so responsibly. If you know you will be drinking, download a rideshare app before arriving at the festival; it will be much easier to get home safely later on.

Space out your drinks throughout the event, stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water, and have a meal or snack to fill your stomach. Never let your drinks out of your sight and don't sip from a drink that's been left unattended even for a second.

3. Bring Provisions

If you're allowed to bring a purse or backpack into the festival, pack it with any emergency or unexpected provisions you might need. This might include medications, band-aids, a phone charger, earplugs, and a few granola bars or other small, easily portable food items. When packing your provisions bag, don’t put your wallet in it; keep it on your person instead.
