6 Tips for Bringing Children to Festivals

If you have young children at home, you may find it difficult to go out and do things such as attend festivals. It can be hard sometimes to find a last-minute babysitter that you can trust. Or, maybe the festival you want to attend is out of town.

Whatever the case may be, you always have the option of bringing your young children along. This may seem like a disaster waiting to happen; however, you’d be surprised at how enjoyable the experience will be if you’re well prepared. Check out our little guide!



Here are a few festival tips for young children:

  1. Bring snacks and drinks from home: Bringing snacks and drinks from home will save you money and can keep your child satisfied in a pinch.

  2. Dress in layers: The festival simply won’t be enjoyable if your young one is constantly complaining that they’re too hot or too cold.

  3. Bring ear protectors: By bringing ear protectors, you can get as close to the stage as you want without worrying about your child’s sensitive ears.

  4. Take baby steps: Before taking your child to a week-long festival, try going to an outdoor event for one day or even for an afternoon.

  5. Don’t set high expectations: A go-with-the-flow attitude is a must, especially if you’re bringing your child along for the first time.

  6. Do your research : Before you go to the festival, do some research to see if there are any kid-friendly areas and activities.

By being well prepared and following simple tips, both you and your child will likely have a positive festival experience.


On a final note, always make safety a priority when taking your children along to festivals. Be sure to make a list of emergency numbers, and take note of where security and first aid stations are located.
