💡 Tips That Will Save You
Not products—just things that make EDC smoother.
From setting a meetup spot (service is *not* reliable) to pacing yourself and planning your nights, these are the little things that make a big difference once you’re inside.
You never know if you are gonna have service, my advice is as soon as you walk in with your group pick a spot to meet and specific times you will meet there. If you get separated and don’t have service at least you’ll have a back up plan.
Have a meetup spot
Time flys when you are having fun! Set alarms for sets you don’t want to miss.
Set alarms for the sets you want to see
One of the best parts about EDC is all there is to explore! There are so many fun things to find and experiences you never saw coming. Set aside some time to look around you never know where you will end up!
Explore!
A lot of the time service isn’t great so having these available it essential!

EDC Las Vegas is not the place to wear shoes you care about. Most of the time whatever you wear gets destroyed through the weekend so make sure you bring some comfy walking shoes you don’t mind getting a little dirty.
Wear comfy shoes you don’t care about
🎆 Festival Essentials
The non-negotiables. These are the things you’ll use all night and wish you had if you don’t bring them—think hydropacks, portable chargers, and comfort items that keep you going from sunset to sunrise.
I love the scent of this sunscreen and it’s easy to reapply throughout the day☀️
Sunscreen
Hydration is essential! They have water stations to fill up at for free all around the festival. What I usually do is buy and bottle of water when I first go in and fill it up and just keep refilling throughout the night.
Hydro Pack
Protect Your Ears!! Festivals can be really damaging to your hearing especially if you are a rail rider like my boyfriend. Having a good pair of ear plugs are essential. I love these ones because you can adjust how much you can hear. These are great ...
Ear Plugs
A must you can’t forget. If you do forget or it doesn’t get mailed to you on time don’t panic. Go to will call and pick it up you just need to bring your ID.

🧸 Comfort + Recovery
EDC is a marathon, not a sprint. These are the things that help you stay comfortable during the night and recover after—whether it’s staying cool, avoiding blisters, or making the next day easier.
After walking all day in the heat and potentially drinking for many days straight, hydrating while dehydrated is a must!
Electrolytes
✨ Extras That Elevate the Experience
Things you don’t *need* but will be so glad you brought. Fun, thoughtful extras that make the experience feel even more special.
Defractor glasses are always fun to have at a festival. There are so many lights and fun things to look at. I love using my camera in front of it for some really cool pictures and videos!
Diffractor Glasses
Sunglasses are great to have during the day! It’s super hot and sunny and a great extra to have. I wouldn’t recommend bring expensive ones in case they get lost or stolen☀️
Sunglasses
One of the best parts of racing is the community you get to be around. Make some Kandi to trade before hand and meet some new friends💕

🎒Outfit + Packing Prep
Planning ahead makes everything easier. This section is all about what to pack, how to prep your outfits, and the little things that help you feel ready instead of stressed.
Bring an extra outfit just and case. Also bring a hoodie or something warm, I need one every year🎆
EDC Outfits
Don’t forget to bring glitter and other makeup. I love About Face, Half Magic, and r.e.m. Beauty for raves💋

Face gems are such a fun way to elevate any look✨
