1. Rent a Locker

Trust me when I say that you won't regret renting a locker. In addition to keeping your valuables safe, Sonic Bloom lockers offer not one, but TWO charging ports inside the lockers. Split the $20 cost in half when you rent a Sonic Bloom locker  with your festie bestie. Lockers also make for a great meeting spot with your squad! 

2. Pack Smarter, Not Harder

Wallett? Tickets? ID? Be sure to check out the official Sonic Bloom Packing list to ensure you don't leave anything important at home. 

3. Check out the Workshops

There's a ton of cool workshops that you can attend at Sonic Bloom. From Yoga courses, to learning more about edible plants, to crafting dream catchers, Sonic Bloom offers many opportunities to learn something new, maybe even something that's outside your comfort zone. Don't forget to check out the Sonic Bloom workshop schedule, so you can choose which ones you want to attend ahead of time. 

4. Prepare to Go Green

Caring for Mother Earth is extremely important, especially at a music festival where there's a large amount of potential trash. Help reduce your carbon footprint by following a few, but effective tips: 

• Pack out what you pack in! Don't forget to bring extra garbage bags to use to separate out your trash and recyclables 
• Remove excess packaging before you get to the venue. This will help eliminate more potential waste and also help lighten your load 
• Carpool or use on of Sonic Bloom's shuttle busses
• Re-use your commemorative drink cup all weekend long
