SXSW is around the corner, and whether you’re a seasoned vet or a first-timer, we’ve crafted a little Essentials Guide for you that's jam-packed with our favorite local brands (and some additional non-optionals) to help you survive the crowds and lines, from morning all the way through the late-night shows!
Step 1: Fuel up! Grab a nutrient-dense, delicious breakfast or brunch at one of our favorites:
Step 2: Caffeinate with Chameleon Cold Brew
Step 3: Pack your purse, fanny-pack, or backpack with:
Sunglasses
SPF (you can thank us later)
Portable phone charger
Thunderbird Bars (The hanger gets REAL while you’re waiting in line!)
CLEAN Water - avoid dehydration (or over-intoxication) by chugging this local to Austin, bottled for a cause water in between venues or while you’re waiting in line. We also recommend bringing a Camelback or collapsible water bottle, since you cannot bring bottled drinks inside venues.
Step 4: Rejuvenate with Daily Greens
Let’s face it. The morning after a day/night of SXSW is never pretty. Reset your body and get back to feeling your best with a bottle of local, cold-pressed greens so you can do it all over again!
