WHAT DO YOU WEAR TO A MUSIC FESTIVAL
Okay gurls, I need some input. I will be attending the Pepsi Gulf Coast Jam 2016 this Labor Day!!! I am totally stoked about attending this 3 day concert in Panama City Beach, Florida. I said “totally” and “stoked,” it must be 1999 again. Hahaha!So what’s the problem, you might ask. I haven’t attended a concert in ages, and I mean ages. I think the last time I attended a concert, the kids were small and I was at 6 Flags over Georgia. I saw Jimmy Buffett, and yes I was a parrot head. I have attended a few other concerts in my time, from Z Z Top, Willie Nelson, and the Osmond Brothers, to Michael Jackson. But, I have NEVER attended a huge outdoor festival, and certainly not one that is three days long.
So what’s the problem, you might ask. I DON’T HAVE ANYTHING TO WEAR!!! Better yet, I don’t know WHAT to wear. What do you wear to an outdoor festival? You have to take into account that it will be in Florida, and it is on Labor Day. It will be hot!!! I am talking about the outdoor temperature, not about how Jake Owens looks in jeans. (Which I hear he split in a concert a couple years ago)
All I can think about is wearing cowboy boots, (I don’t own any), daisy-duke denim shorts, (I don’t own any), and cropped t-shirts. (I don’t own that either) Are you starting to see my dilemma? So, I did what everyone else on the planet does…… I went to Pinterest! Lol! Source 
What do you think about these choices? I love the Umgee dress, it is really cute. The plaid dress just screams country. Add some cowboy boots, and you are all set. The long flowy maxi dress is just perfection. It is thin, so I don’t think it would be too hot. Also, you wouldn’t have to wear cowboy boots, so that is a big plus. The next two dresses are similar. The black one has wide straps instead of the spaghetti straps on the gray one. I just think a dress will be cooler, what do you gurls think? The shorts and tank outfit is super easy. This would look perfect, be cool, and look appropriate.
Have you noticed the advertisement for the festival on the right hand side of the post? I am so proud of myself! I figured out how to load the image, AND how to fix the link so that when you click on the image it takes you to the site to purchase tickets. You need to try it out, even if you are not sure about attending the festival.
But let’s talk about attending the festival. Here are some reason’s you need to go to the Pepsi Gulf Coast Jam:
- It’s Labor Day! Most people have a three-day weekend available, even if you work for a living.
- It is in Florida! Sand, Sun, and Fun
- Brad Paisley, Jake Owen, and Eric Church, plus Sara Evans and The Band Perry
- I’LL BE THERE!!!! Thanks to the good folks who are promoting the event, I get to attend. AND…..
Here is the best part, so do some of you. I have been given 6 tickets (3-Day General Admission Ticket) to give away to three lucky winners.

Put your thinking caps on, and give me some country concert wear apparel ideas. Is this role reversal, or what??? Lol!

hey!!! we love your content and would be over the moon t o receive these concert tickets!!! The idea of Jake Perry in the summer is just to die for!!! As for the outfit- you want to stay cool and hip – but a country music essential is cowboy boots!! me and my gbf (gay best friend) insist on plaid, and he thinks you would look super cute in a wide brim hat!! We support you and hope you support gay rights!! peace and love xxx
Where do you get the cardigans in all those beautiful colors??
Dress for comfort! It will be hot and humid. Comfy shorts and tee or tank. A hat to shade your face.
I like to wear my Chaco sandals, good support for lots of standing. Or good supportive sneakers. Plus if there are only port-a-potties available you won’t want to wear a dress. A small backpack with your wipes, hand sanitizer. sunscreen, etc.
Yeah, not so cute or fashionable but believe me, no one will notice or care.
Sounds like fun! Enjoy!
I live at the beach, and would certainly go with the dresses, they are so much cooler. Three days, 3 dresses. A long one for the cooler night time, a knee length for hot daytime, and a high low. Find out what kind of ground you are going to be on…if it’s dirt, the last thing I would want to wear is sandals, dirty feet are an awful feeling. Plenty of cute flats that you can slip off when you get to wear you are going. Try a hat that breathes, and don’t forget your shades. Oh yes, heavy jewelry will make you sweat. Have fun ?
I’m 58 and I’ve been to many outdoor festivals. Forget the cute flowing dresses. Hot long days and lots of walking. I would have on jeans, sneakers and a t-shirt. Your outfit for what to wear on a motorcycle would be perfect, I think it’s very cute. It could get cold at night so I’d take a sweater.
I agree with you, Kathy. We have a condo in PCB and go a couple of times a year. This venue is not on the beach but across the highway from the beach at a big sports complex so not sure how much gulf breeze will make it there but it could get cool at night. We’ve been to music festivals in PCB in mid October that have gotten quite cool at night. And you MUST go to Dee’s Hangout to eat. It’s a little place in a strip mall on Front Beach but so, so good! Bayou on the Beach is great too.
Thanks for the suggestions, Scherri. I am glad to have a heads up on places to eat:)
I live in FL and I can tell you it will be very hot and still very humid. I would never think about wearing boots in this heat, especially if they’re not broke in, etc. Perhaps denim shorts and a fun cowboy hat would help make you feel more country and wear Sandals. I would consider wearing a fun dress in the evenings, I love the maxi. Tops and dresses should be flowy light cotton, like gauze. Everything else might stick to you. Have fun!
Right now Old Navy is featuring their Boho look. You may want to take a look they have a lot of cute outfits. Enjoy!
We went to an outdoor concert a few weeks ago in Texas and you can bet it was ridiculously hot. Almost everyone wore short sun dresses (flowy and fitted ones) with cowboy boots. They all looked precious! Love your blog! Susan
Will you be sitting on the ground? Think comfort! Shorts get my vote! A cute top, even a retro band tee!
I think you may have to bring chairs, I am not sure. I do know my tickets are on the side stage, so I need to check that out.
