Solar Powered USB Power Bank
First and foremost, a solar powered USB power bank does wonders when attending CMA Music Fest in Nashville. Some of these power banks can charge all of your friends phones at the same time, and then recharge the rest of the day in the sun while you walk around and enjoy the beautiful music. You can clip these power banks to your backpack and let it recharge via solar panels, or you can charge it with a wall charger.
SPF 100 Sunscreen Spray
Sunscreen is very, very important when attending CMA Music Fest in Nashville, and many people forget to apply sunscreen frequently. While you are rocking out to your favorite country band, you sweat a lot, which makes the sunscreen wear off quickly. Having a spray bottle on hand lets you apply new applications of sunscreen and get back to the action.
Water Bottle with Time Marker
Drinking a lot of water is crucial when attending CMA Music Fest, and having a water bottle with a time marker helps you keep track of your progress throughout the day. Nashville summers can be hot, so you need to be drinking water constantly, and a water bottle with a time marker helps to remind you to keep drinking water, whether you are thirsty or not.
Travel Size Hand Sanitizers
Let’s face it, music festivals can carry a ton of germs. There are usually handwashing and hand sanitizing stations located around CMA Music Fest, but having a travel sized bottle of hand sanitizer handy will let you get clean while you are in the crowd.
Mini Spray Fan
Having a mini spray fan at CMA Music Fest is great because you can cool yourself off when you need to, no matter where you are. These mini spray fans are very portable and compact, making it a great investment. Side note, be sure to find a decent sized handheld one instead of a smaller one, because you want to make sure it has enough power to cool you off in the long term.
Disposable Rain Poncho
Finally, a disposable rain poncho is great for those days that the rain hits hard at CMA Music Fest. You never know when it’s going to start raining in Nashville, and having a disposable rain poncho can help you stay close to your favorite country artist instead of having to find cover. A disposable rain poncho is also great because you can throw it away on the last day if you don’t need it.
