Are Summer Music Festivals Right for You?

A love for music won't ensure a great time at a summer music festival, as inebriated masses and tropical heat can leave you bummed. Consider these pitfalls of a summer music festival in order to decide if it's right for you:

  • A summer music festival will typically be extremely crowded, and a large percentage of the crowd will be wasted. If you have a low tolerance for such tomfoolery, stick to summer concerts that showcase tamer genres such as opera and classical music.
  • Are you allergic to smoke? Does it just really annoy you? A lot of music fans like to show their appreciation by toking up, and you may get upset sinuses and a contact buzz. And on this note, don't buy baked goods from any unauthorized vendors!
  • Consider the most evil of all evils at a summer music festival: portable toilets. If you're traumatized by such vileness, you may wish to skip outdoor music festivals.
  • Do you have a weak immune system? Big crowds mean a higher risk of airborne illnesses. You can always enhance your immune system with Echinacea or vitamin C prior to summer concerts.
  • Does heat bother you? If so, consider a summer music festival at the beginning or end of summer, or in milder climates.
  • From standing in long entry lines to dealing with boundary-challenged friskers, you may encounter some unpleasant experiences during summer concerts. If you deal poorly with this sort of hullabaloo, stick to the type of summer music festival that draws mature audiences.
  • How do you feel about hanging out in the rain? Should the skies choose to fall, your shoes might get muddy, and you might have to use a poncho or umbrella to shield yourself.
  • Summer concerts can come with quite a price tag, especially if the organizers don't allow you to bring in food and water. You might pay $4 for a water bottle, $12 for a meal, and $7 for 12 ounces of domestic beer. If you don't have money to burn, or you can't last all day without refreshments, find a summer music festival that allows you to bring your own snacks.
