Some things to Bring
- Clothing – bring all sorts! It can be cool, rainy, warm, sunny, and even hot!
- Ear plugs – you won’t always need these. It depends on where you’re camped. But if you end up in the “Late, loud, smoky crowd area”, you may want ear plugs at 3:00 in the morning.
- Camp stove – create some wonderful edibles to share with your friends, old and new!
- Instruments – The jammin’ is great!
- Beverages – bring your beverage of choice alcohol, non-alcohol, fizzy, water, wine. (If you forget your wine, don’t forget that Lodi is the wine capital of California!)
- Travel map – there are lots of things to see around Lodi. There are hiking trails around beautiful Lodi Lake. There are bike trails. There are wine trails. There are birds to look at. There’s downtown Lodi where you could find most anything that you need! And things you don’t need!
- Extra strings – Bring at least two sets of strings because you are going to pick that instrument like crazy and you might need them!!!
- Camping equipment – no matter what style you have of camping, please be prepared. Car, van, tent camper, RV, sleeping bag under the truck, whatever – just be prepared.
- Music books – bring “The Really Good Book” and “The Equally Good Book”. One of the fun things to do in a jam is to open the book and pick a tune from that page! It’s a challenge but it can be really fun!
- Shampoo, Conditioner, and Soap – we have wonderful showers at the Lodi Grape Festival Grounds. Be prepared to take a nice long hot shower!!!!
