EDC First Timer Guide

What to bring to EDC

Attending a festival as grand as EDC requires some preparation. Whether you're a first time raver or a seasoned one, always best to play it safe and double check what you need to bring for a rave. Here’s your essential packing list to ensure you have the best time while taking care of your needs:

Comfy Shoes: Expect a lot of dancing and walking.
Gum: Keep your mouth fresh and stay hydrated.
Handheld Fan: Cool down in the Vegas heat.
Portable Charger and Cords: Keep your devices charged to capture every moment.Get your STIIIZY portable chargerbefore you go!
Sunglasses: Protect your eyes and up your style.
Bandana or Pashmina: Useful for fashion and function.
Fanny Pack: Secure your essentials and keep your hands free.
Water Pack Backpack: Stay hydrated throughout the night.
Hand Sanitizer: Keep those germs at bay.
ID and Cards: Essential for entry and purchases.
Chapstick: Keep your lips smooth and avoid chapping.

Tips for First-Time EDC and Rave Attendees

Plan Your Outfits in Advance:

Comfort is Key: You'll be dancing and walking a lot, so wear comfortable shoes. Breathable, lightweight clothing is ideal for staying cool.
Express Yourself: EDC is all about creativity and self-expression. Go all out with vibrant, eye-catching outfits that showcase your personality. Accessories like hats, sunglasses, and glow sticks can add to your look and enhance your experience.

Stay Hydrated:

Hydration Packs: A hydration pack or refillable water bottle is a must. EDC provides free water refill stations throughout the venue. Staying hydrated helps you keep your energy up and prevents dehydration.
Regular Water Breaks: Make it a habit to take regular water breaks, especially if you're dancing a lot. Dehydration can sneak up on you, especially in a high-energy environment. You might even want to prepare before the event and drink a Liquid IV or something similar to help keep you hydrated for the day, and take another one before you go to sleep to help keep you ready for the next day and to rehydrate you from the day.

Secure Your Belongings:

Safe Storage: Use a secure bag or fanny pack to keep your valuables safe. Consider a phone tether to prevent theft. Keep your belongings close and be mindful of your surroundings. Sometimes it better to keep your bag in the front of you to ensure nothing gets taken from behind you.
Minimal Essentials: Bring only what you need—ID, cash or cards, phone, and a few other essentials like a portable charger and sunscreen. Keeping your load light makes it easier to move around and enjoy the event.

Stick Together and Stay Connected:

Group Up: Always stick with friends and set designated meeting points in case you get separated. Cell service can be unreliable in crowded areas, so having a plan is essential.
Emergency Info: Set your phone's lock screen with emergency contact details and any important medical information. This can be crucial in case of an emergency. Always be aware of your surroundings and know where all the emergency tents are and exits.
Know the Rules: Check EDC’s website for prohibited items and adhere to the guidelines to avoid issues at entry. Familiarize yourself with the event's policies to ensure a smooth experience.

Explore and Enjoy:

Pace Yourself: Don't try to see every set. Take time to explore the rides, art installations, and other attractions. The experience is about more than just the music, so soak in all the festival has to offer.
Make New Friends: EDC is a community. Be open to meeting new people and sharing the experience. Rave culture is built on connection and unity.
Keep It PLUR: Embrace the rave culture of Peace, Love, Unity, and Respect. Be kind and look out for each other. This positive vibe enhances the overall experience for everyone.

Get Creativeat Raves

Kandi Bracelets

What is Kandi? Kandi bracelets are colorful, beaded bracelets exchanged at raves as symbols of friendship and unity. They embody the rave culture of Peace, Love, Unity, and Respect (PLUR).

How to Make Kandi:

Materials: Gather plastic beads, elastic string, and scissors. Add letter beads to spell out names or phrases for a personalized touch.
String the Beads: Measure and cut the elastic string. String the beads in your desired pattern and tie the ends securely. Ensure the knot is tight to prevent the bracelet from falling apart.
Trade Kandi: Follow the PLUR handshake: Peace (make a peace sign), Love (form a heart with your fingers), Unity (hold hands), and Respect (exchange bracelets). This ritual is a meaningful way to connect with fellow ravers.

Totem Poles

What Are Totem Poles? Totem poles are decorated sticks or poles carried at raves to express individuality and help groups find each other. They add to the vibrant atmosphere of the event and often feature favorite characters, quotes, or unique designs.

How to Make a Totem Pole:

Materials: Use a sturdy pole (PVC pipes are common), lightweight materials for decorations, duct tape, zip ties, and a base for stability.
Design Your Totem: Decide on a theme or message. Common decorations include LED lights, stuffed animals, signs, and flags.
Construction: Attach decorations securely to the pole using duct tape and zip ties. Ensure the totem is lightweight and easy to carry.
Personalize: Add your unique touch with colors, patterns, and interactive elements like lights or sound.

Tips for Totem Making:

Portability: Ensure your totem is easy to carry and won't become a burden.
Safety: Avoid sharp edges or heavy objects that could pose a danger in a crowd.
Creativity: Let your imagination run wild and create something that represents you and your group.
