What to Pack for Governor's Ball

Dressing for music festivals feels more like preparing for camping (glamping, if you will) rather than attending a concert, and Gov Ball is no different.  

That being said, it's important to balance utility, style and dressing for the festival's tradition of bad weather. Here we’ve broken down staples we think every Gov Ball attendee traveling from far and wide will need for the big event. And if you need some tips on where to eat, drink and stay while in New York, we've got you covered there too.
