Every time I go to a festival it hurts me to see lil ones without ear protection. It's so important for them if you take them close to the bands. I've been taking my toddler to festivals since he was six months old and with some decent ear protection, I haven't had to worry about his well being.
They are also very fashionable, as seen on Apple Martin at Live Aid.

Nobody wants a glass of lukewarm white wine on a lovely sunny music day out in the field do we?
Which is why I recommend buying a box of wine of your choice then freezing it prior the festival. Then, just pop it in a cool bag when you are ready to go and you will have chilled white for two days.
Why spectate when you can participate? However small your gesture, whether it's smiling at everyone you walk past, taking an extra bottle of suntan lotion with you for scorched skins, or a few unwanted carrier bags for mud/ wet free wellie-liners - help your fellow festival goer enjoy their experience and I guarantee it will add to your own experience - use the Burning Man festival in Nevada ethos as your guide - leave consumerism and money at the gate and try and give a little something of yourself instead.
