What to Prepare for EDC: Your Ultimate Festival Survival Guide

What to Prepare for EDC: Your Ultimate Festival Survival Guide

EDC (Electric Daisy Carnival) isn’t just a festival — it’s an experience. The lights, the music, the outfits, the people — it’s pure magic. But to make the most of your time under the electric sky, you’ve got to come prepared. Whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned raver, here’s everything you need to pack and prep before heading to EDC.

 

Essentials to Bring

1. Hydration Pack or Refillable Bottle

Stay glowing, not dehydrated. EDC can get hot and sweaty, and you’ll be dancing non-stop. A hydration pack is a lifesaver — hands-free and refillable at free water stations.

2. Comfortable Footwear

As cute as platform boots are (and yes, we love them too), make sure they’re broken in and comfy. You’ll be walking and dancing for hours.

3. Sun Protection

Think sunscreen (SPF 30+), sunglasses, and even a stylish hat or bandana. Daytime sets can get brutal under the Vegas sun.

Fashion & Fit Check

4. Full Rave Sets

Outdoll’s got your back here — coordinated tops, bottoms, and accessories that slay. Whether you're into neon, holographics, mesh, or fringe, make sure you have at least one killer outfit per day.

5. Layer Up

Desert temps drop fast at night. Bring a lightweight jacket, kimono, or faux fur to throw over your look — bonus if it’s part of your aesthetic.

6. Accessories & Details

LED jewelry, reflective sunglasses, body glitter, face gems, fishnets, arm cuffs — this is the time to go all in. Don’t forget nipple covers, pasties, or double-sided tape for that outfit that refuses to behave.

Survival Kit Must-Haves

  • Earplugs (protect your hearing!)

  • Portable charger (you'll take 10,000 videos)

  • Wet wipes (thank us later)

  • Mini first-aid kit (blisters, sunburns, etc.)

  • Cash/card/ID (secure in a belt bag or crossbody)

Mindset & Prep

7. Plan Ahead

Map out your favorite sets, but be flexible. Sometimes the best moments are unplanned. Pro tip: screenshot your schedule — reception gets iffy.

8. Squad Goals

Know your meet-up points. With huge crowds, losing your crew is easy. Set a time and spot to reconnect just in case.

9. Good Vibes Only

EDC is a celebration of love, music, and expression. Respect others, dance like no one’s watching, and let yourself shine.

Final Thoughts

EDC is a sensory overload in the best way possible. With the right prep and the perfect fits (hi, Outdoll), you’ll be ready to own the night — and the gram. So hydrate, pack smart, dress bold, and we’ll see you under the electric sky. 💜
