Travel Tips for Country Calling
A few pro tips before you hit the road:
Plan ahead for traffic. The town does a fantastic job managing flow during big events, but with thousands of people heading downtown, a little extra travel time never hurts.

Festival Tips from the Locals
We’ve been through a few of these beach festivals before (and yes, we’ve learned the hard way). Here are a few must-know tips to keep you comfortable:
Bring a rain jacket. October weather can be unpredictable, and rain + no cover = one soggy day.
Consider VIP or GA+ tickets. If massive crowds aren’t your thing, these upgraded passes offer private areas, shorter lines, and in some cases, free food and drinks.
