Festival Survival Guide: How to Stay Refreshed and Energized

Festival season is here, and it's all about the live music, vibrant crowds, and memorable experiences. Whether you're dancing under the stars at a summer music festival or enjoying local arts and crafts at a community event, staying refreshed and maintaining your energy is key to making the most of your festival experience. CleanCo is here to guide you through the festival season with top tips and delicious non-alcoholic cocktail suggestions.

Hydration is Key 

Festivals often involve long days under the sun, surrounded by crowds and excitement, which can quickly lead to dehydration. While water is a must, why not mix things up with some flavourful, non-alcoholic options? CleanCo's range of spirits offers the perfect base for hydrating and delicious mocktails that can keep you hydrated without compromising on fun.

Try this: Mix CleanCo's non-alcoholic Gin with tonic water and a squeeze of fresh lime for a refreshing twist on the classic G&T.

Pace Yourself 

With activities running from morning till night, pacing yourself is crucial to enjoying the full festival experience. Opting for non-alcoholic cocktails can help you stay in control and energised, avoiding the sluggishness that often comes with alcohol consumption.

Try this: CleanCo's non-alcoholic Rum mixed with fresh mint, lime, sugar, and soda water makes a Mojito that will keep you refreshed and party-ready without the alcohol.

Eat Well

Food is more than just fuel. At festivals, it's part of the experience! Eating regularly and choosing meals that are nutritious and filling will help sustain your energy levels throughout the day. Look for options like grilled proteins, fresh salads, and whole grains that will satisfy without weighing you down.

Festival tip: Plan your meals around your activity schedule. Grabbing a hearty breakfast can set a positive tone for the day, and early dinners can help you avoid evening queues at food stalls.

Protect Yourself From the Elements

Sunscreen, hats, and comfortable clothing are your best friends at outdoor festivals. Even on cloudy days, UV rays can be strong, especially if you’re spending several hours outdoors. Similarly, as the sun sets, temperatures can drop, so having a light jacket or a blanket can keep you comfortable into the night.

Rest and Recharge

Don’t forget to listen to your body. If you're feeling tired, take a short break. Find a quiet spot to sit down, enjoy a non-alcoholic cocktail, and soak in the environment. A little pause can recharge you for hours of more fun.

Enjoy Every Moment

Above all, festivals are about enjoying the moment—whether that’s the music, the food, or the company of friends and strangers. With CleanCo’s non-alcoholic options, you can savour every sip and every song, fully present and full of energy.
