Countdown to the Festival: What to Pack 4 Weeks, 1 Week & 24 Hours Before

Posted by Kritter Klips on

It’s happening—time for to-dos.

You got the tickets. You picked the ears. The group chat is mostly coordinated.

Now it’s time to pack—and babe, we’re not letting you forget your fluff.

Whether it’s your first festival or your fiftieth, this Kritter-approved countdown checklist has you covered from 4 weeks out to your final glitter check ✨

4 WEEKS BEFORE: THE FOUNDATION FANTASY

Get the big stuff locked down—so you can stress less and sparkle more later.

  • Ticket confirmation + wristband
  • Travel & accommodations (and back-up plans if chaos strikes)
  • Your “base” outfits: shorts, tops, bodysuits, whatever you’ll build around
  • First aid basics: meds, blister pads, wipes, bandages
  • Portable charger (don’t wait ‘til they’re sold out)
  • Your EARS! Build your looks around them.

1 WEEK BEFORE: IT’S GETTING FLUFFY

This is where you lock in your lewk energy.

  • Outfit accessories/essentials (chains, face gems, arm cuffs)
  • Bucket Hat, scarf, or sun shield for peak daytime rays
  • Hydration/cool down gear: bottles, backpack, electrolyte packs, Clack Fan
  • Footwear: comfy, stompable, and CUTE
  • Clip-in extras: hair tinsel, LED add-ons, matching Clip-On Tail
  • Mini essentials bag: lip balm, safety pins, SPF stick, hand sanitizer
  • Optional: snacks (protein bars, gummy worms, hot girl trail mix)
  • Ears test-run: try them on, fluff them up, feel the power

24 HOURS BEFORE: FULL SEND MODE

You’re buzzing. You’re fluffing. You’re ready.

  • Lay out your full fits by day
  • Clip your ears somewhere safe (but visible—you’ll want to admire them)
  • Pre-load maps, music, and set schedules
  • Charge. Everything.
  • Paint those nails. Glitter that collarbone. Manifest that dance circle.
  • Screenshot your emergency contacts + ticket info
  • Hype yourself up: You’re ready. You’re stunning. You are the vibe.

Bonus: Last-Minute Add-Ons That Save the Day

  • Extra hair ties
  • Blister tape
  • Festival map printout (yes, paper)
  • Reusable tote for merch or mystery snacks
  • Your “I’m cold now” layer (i.e. your Reversible Jacket)
  • Your signature scent + sparkle

TL;DR? You Bring the Energy, We’ll Bring the Ears

Packing isn’t just about being prepared—it’s about curating the experience you want to have. With the right fluff and a little intention, you’re about to have the festival of your life.
