Gift Ideas for Music Festival Lovers

Music festival lovers are unique souls.  We love music.  We love to dance, and sing, and play, but we don’t necessarily love a bunch of normal stuff.

Do you have a music festival lover in your life that you’re struggling to find a gift for?  

Here’s a list of some fun and useful gifts for music festival lovers that they can enjoy year-round!

INTO THE AM Galaxy Face Mask Bandanas for Dust, 

Let’s face it, (punny!) music festivals can get down-right dusty!  When thousands of hippies start kicking up the dirt, it can look like a Pig-pen convention.  

Protect yourself and look cool with these Face Mask Bandanas from Into The Am.  There are plenty  of different styles to choose from, so get yourself one while you’re doing the holiday shopping!

Leftover Salmon: Thirty Years of Festival!

Few bands endure the way Leftover Salmon has.  What was started 30 years ago by Drew Emmitt, Vince Herman and Mark Vann has grown into one of the most iconic, influential, genre-bending, definition-eluding musical forces of our lifetime.  As musical pioneers, Leftover Salmon has been credited as influences by just about every major player in the jamgrass scene, and far outside of it as well.

To commemorate their approaching 30-year mark, author Tim Newby has penned Leftover Salmon: Thirty Years of Festival!  – a must for any music lover!

Tarp + Tapestry = TARPESTRY!

A Tarpestry is “the perfect combination of a weather-resistant blanket or tarp that offers a buffer from the occasional unpleasantries found in nature with the comfort and personalized style of a tapestry.”  

There are a ton of different designs so you can find one for every festival fan in your life.

A Tarpestry is a great gift for any music festival lover.
