Festivals have long been a source of fantastic fashion, often taking a modern interpretation of festival fashion from the early 60s, when Woodstock and other huge events were in their hay day. Early next month, comes Canada’s biggest music fest, Osheaga. If you haven’t heard of this festival, it’s a three day extravaganza held in the center of one of the best cities in the world – Montreal. This year’s line-up is sure to be a memorable one, a veritable who’s who of both International and Canadian music.

When packing for a festival, it’s important to take a few factors in to account. One, make sure you pack suitable rain gear – being caught in the rain isn’t much fun when you’re on the grounds for several hours. Also, make sure to pack for the other extreme – heat. Other than weather, make sure to bring a pair of comfortable shoes, and a great pair of sunglasses. Here are our festival ready picks for Osheaga 2013.
