What types of things should I plan on bringing to the Blissfest?

It is good to make a checklist. Plan on bringing the items you would normally take for a camping trip for the weekend. Be sure to bring sunscreen, first aid kit, FM radio, food,beverages and snacks, Towels, blankets, small chairs for stage watching, sun hats, raingear, warm clothing for unpredictable Northern MI. 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. Items are generally safe locked in your vehicle but tents and campsites tend to be difficult to secure. There is not very much shade at the main stage area, so be prepared to protect yourselves and young ones from the sun and dehydration. Plan responsibly and you will increase your chances of greater Bliss!
