Tip #2: How to beat the heat and stay cool!

   Aside from staying hydrated at Bonnaroo, staying cool is also crucial! With the high temperatures, the sun beating down and the thousands of people around you, Bonnaroo isn't exactly paradise. There are multiple ways to stay fresh and stay cool!

Bonnaroo Cinema

   You can always seek refuge and expect a cool experience when you visit Bonnaroo Cinema. The theater tent offers seating and air condition on blast the 24 hours. The cinema screens a variety of documentaries, classic movies, new movies and a bunch of indie films. Lines do tend to get long and crowded so it is recommended that you arrive early or plan accordingly. 

Bonnaroo Salon by Garnier Fructis

   Bonnaroo always finds a way to put a smile on your face and make your heart content. Nothing in this world beats the feeling of getting a nice clean hair wash. After dealing with humidity, dirt, mud and smoke you may feel sticky and disgusting. But Bonnaroo's Salon definitely saves the day! Garnier Fructis sponsors the salon and provides a free hair wash! They demonstrate their products and also bring you back to life! Also these lines tend to be very chaotic and long. Early bird catches the worm! 

The Fountain

   You can always count on staying cool at the fountain which is found in the center of Bonnaroo! The fountain uses recycled water and is a perfect place to stay cool and make new friends. The fountain is pretty much the water hole where all Bonnaroovian animals gather and congregate. During the day a quick splash at the fountain is always key! At night you can find people partying near the fountain as the fountain lights up and changes colors. The mushroom fountain will be your go to when you have no where to run! 

Tip Tuesday

Tip #1: Water-bottle's will save your life.


     Every Tuesday I will bring you guys a new and helpful tip for surviving Bonnaroo. This weeks tip is MAKE SURE YOU BRING A WATER BOTTLE!
     In the middle of June Manchester, Tennessee can be one of the hottest, stickiest and humid places on earth. Make sure you don't let weather, ruin your awesome time at Bonnaroo. Temperatures can reach up to a scorching 110 degrees. Bonnaroo does a great job with providing 24 hour water refill stations. Make sure you take advantage of these stations because A. It is free, B. It keeps you hydrated, C. It is free!! and D. You meet a lot of cool people to strike up conversation with at these stations.
     Staying hydrated is an essential part for all Bonnaroovian's. A large number of people choose the option of buying camelback water book bags. These are great however can become quite annoying and irritating to constantly carry. From personal experience the book bag became irritating on your back and a hassle to drink from when the straw constantly leaked.
     Make sure you have some type of water at your campsite for essential necessities such as brushing teeth, washing hair, etc. If you plan on surviving the festival a water bottle will be your best friend.
