Here’s what you need to know!

1. The distance between your parking space and your campsite may be VERY far apart. Consider bringing backpacks instead of duffel bags or single shoulder bags to distribute the weight.

And/or, bring a wheelbarrow for easy move-in and out!

2. In years past, it has been super hot and dusty. To combat the dust, we suggest bringing a bandanna to cover your mouth and nose while walking through the campsite areas.

Some people even soak it with water to help keep cool!

3. Don’t forget to pack your baby wipes! Trust us, you will be a filthy animal for at least 3 days and you may be surprised how far a good baby wipe will take you!

 

4. Pemby Fest is a time to get lost in the music, in the feel good vibes, and potentially in the sea of tents. Our advice, make sure you bring a recognizable marker for your tent, like a distinct flag or streamers.

And on this note, if you don’t get lost, other people might – so bring a lock for your tent!

5. Lastly, have an exit strategy. This is not a drill. Come Sunday/Monday there will be a mass exodus, so pack your patience and have a plan.

Oh! And, don’t forget, everyone will be hitting up the local McDonalds in Pemberton for a farewell breakkie.

 

Happy festivaling!!
