Pack an empty, refillable water bottle to ensure you stay hydrated while attending festivals. Wearing comfortable shoes and weather-appropriate clothing, including a hat, is recommended for outdoor events. It is also important to arrive with a fully charged phone.

Festival attendees are advised to set a meeting point with friends in advance, as cell service may be unreliable during large gatherings.

Several park rules are in place for safety and preservation: glass and Styrofoam containers are not allowed on park grounds, alcohol is prohibited, swimming in Lady Bird Lake is forbidden, and smoking or vaping is not permitted.

To help maintain the cleanliness of the park, festivalgoers are encouraged to follow Leave No Trace principles by disposing of trash properly and being considerate of others.
