Planning Your Weekend
Now, let’s talk logistics. As seasoned festival-goers know, a little preparation goes a long way in ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience. Here are some pro tips to help you make the most of your Bottlerock adventure:
- Buy Your Tickets Early: Don’t wait until the last minute to snag your tickets! With the festival’s growing popularity, passes tend to sell out fast. General Admission tickets can be purchased on their website.
- Accommodation: Whether you prefer the comfort of a hotel room or the camaraderie of camping with fellow music lovers, Napa offers a plethora of accommodation options to suit every budget. Book your stay well in advance to avoid disappointment. We recommend our San Francisco Tradewinds Hostel for a budget-friendly stay. Otherwise, check out hotels or Airbnb options in the surrounding area. Bottlerock does a great job of offering a list of hostels in the area that offer shuttles.
- Transportation: With any festival, parking can be a bit of a hassle. Consider carpooling with friends, utilizing rideshare services, or leaving early. And, who knows? You might just stumble upon an impromptu pre-show jam session along the way!
- Hydration and Sun Protection: With the California sun shining down, it’s crucial to stay hydrated and protected. Bring along a reusable water bottle to refill at the free water stations scattered throughout the festival grounds, and don’t forget to slather on that sunscreen to keep those UV rays at bay.
- Make it a Wine Weekend: Napa Valley is filled with incredible wineries. From big-bodied reds to light and crisp whites, there are plenty of wonderful wines being grown in this area. We recommend taking a day to explore some of the nearby wineries. One of our favorites is Stag’s Leap, which is one of California’s earliest wine estates. It’s a must-visit!
Final Notes: As you gear up for a memorable weekend of music and dancing, remember to embrace the spirit of camaraderie and community that defines the festival experience. Strike up a conversation with someone next to you, sample some delectable local cuisine from the food trucks lining the festival grounds, and take a day to hit up a local winery for a tour and tasting!
