5 Ways to Arrive at a Music Festival

2009-02-06T20:12:00.002-05:00

5 Ways To Arrive At a Music Festival

1. By Car
A. Alone in Your own Car
B. Ride-Share with Friends
C. Rent a Car

2. By Train
You will have to find the closests Amtrack station to your festival destination and find a way to get to the festival grounds from the station.

3. By Bus
GreyHound will take you anywhere in the country. Most festivals are within a short distance to GreyHound bus terminals. You can walk if it's close enough, take a taxi or hope for some friendly festival goers to pick you up.

4. By Plane
You will not be able to bring some of your camping materials on the plane with you, but a trip to WalMart is almost essential before attending any festival.

5. Walk or Ride a Bike
You may life close enough to a festival to be able to walk there. If so, congratulations...can I stay at your house sometime? ;) A bicycle is an option for anyone; it all depends on how far you want to be peddling for.

Music Festival Guide

2009-02-03T10:45:00.000-05:00

Welcome,

I am starting this blog as a complement to my new website: Summer Music Festival Guide. Between the two sites, you will be given ALL the information you need to know about this summers' 2009 Music Festivals and Concerts. I have been attending festivals for years and have a pretty good idea of what to do before during and after as well as what to bring and what NOT to bring.

Check back often, as this info will change as quickly as any normal person would change underwear.
