1. Plan Your Arrival and Camping Strategy

Hulaween 2024 starts Thursday, October 24, but you can arrive as early as Sunday, October 20 with an Early Camping Pass. VIP pass holders and early arrivals use the main park entrance at 3076 95th Drive. General admission arriving from October 25 enters through 9379 County Road 132. Everyone needs a 4-Day GA or VIP pass and an Early Camping Pass to camp before Thursday.

Try to arrive early to get a good camping spot. Bring shade structures, comfy chairs, and solar lights to make your campsite cozy. Don't forget tents, sleeping bags, and cooking gear if you'll make your own meals.

2. Gear Up for the Ultimate Festival Fashion

Hulaween is a great place to wear fun, creative outfits. Pack clothes that will help you stand out. Check out our festival and rave tops for ideas!

Bring outfits for both day and night, as the temperature changes. Wear comfy shoes - you'll do lots of walking and dancing. Face paint, glitter, and cool jewelry can make your look even better.

3. Download the Official Hula App

The Hula app is super helpful. It has updates, schedules, and maps. You'll need it to sign the park waiver before entering. A fanny pack is great for keeping your phone and other stuff safe while you walk around.

Check out the app before the festival. Make a schedule of acts you want to see and set reminders for cool activities. The app can also help you find surprise shows or events during the festival.

4. Stay Hydrated and Energized

Florida can be hot in October, so drink lots of water. Bring a water bottle you can refill at the free water stations. Pack snacks to keep your energy up. A comfy Radiant Rainbow Energy Chakra Tee can help you feel good all day.

Electrolyte drinks can help replace what you lose when you sweat. Healthy snacks like trail mix, fruit, and granola bars are great for keeping your energy up. Remember to take breaks in the shade when you need to.

5. Know the Festival Policies

Learn Hulaween's rules before you go. Big bags must be clear, but you can bring one sealed water bottle or an empty refillable bottle up to one gallon. Small bags like drawstring bags, hydration packs, and fanny packs don't need to be clear but have size limits. Our Sacred Geometry Rave Board Shorts have pockets that are great for small stuff.

Prohibited Items at Hulaween 2024

  • Weapons of any kind
  • Illegal substances
  • Drones and other flying objects (kites, balloons)
  • Inflatable pools or slip n' slides
  • Lasers
  • Fire spinning or twirling (without written contract)
  • Floating lanterns

6. Explore the Art Installations

Hulaween has awesome art that makes the forest look magical. Take time to walk around and see it all. Check out the art during the day and at night when it's lit up. A Honeycomb Hex Fest Unisex Jersey fits right in with the artsy vibe.

You can interact with a lot of the art. Bring a small notebook to write down ideas or draw pictures of what you see. It's a fun way to remember the festival later.

7. Make the Most of the Music Lineup

Hulaween 2024 has lots of different kinds of music. Use the Hula app to plan which shows you want to see, but don't be afraid to try new music too. You might find a new favorite artist! Our Cat Spirit Rave High Neck Bikini Set is great for dancing all night.

Try to see both big headliners and smaller acts. Sometimes the best shows are ones you didn't expect. You could split up with friends to see different shows, then meet up to talk about what you saw.

8. Connect with the Hulaween Community

Hulaween has a really friendly community. Talk to your neighbors, join in group activities, and make new friends. Look for workshops and community events happening during the festival. 

Try group yoga, meditation, or drum circles to really get into the festival spirit. These are great ways to meet people who like the same things you do. Bring small gifts to trade with new friends - it's a fun festival tradition that helps you make friends.

9. Prepare for Florida Weather

Florida weather in October can change a lot. Pack layers so you're comfortable all day and night. Bring some cozy festival outerwear for when it gets cold. Our festival tapestries are great for shade during the day and can keep you warm at night.

Bring a light rain jacket or poncho in case it rains. Pack extra socks to keep your feet dry. Don't forget sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat for sunny days.

10. Leave No Trace and Respect the Environment

Hulaween happens in a beautiful place, and we all need to keep it that way. Clean up after yourself, use the right trash and recycling bins, and leave your campsite clean. Bring eco-friendly festival gear to help the environment. Our women's festival and rave bottoms include some eco-friendly options.

Use reusable water bottles, cups, and utensils to make less trash. If you use glitter or face paint, try to get biodegradable kinds. Encourage your friends to help keep the festival clean too.
