Plan your schedule

With an impressive 33 acts set to perform across multiple stages, planning your schedule is a must.

Once the official CTIJF website releases the lineup and set times, review them thoroughly.

Highlight your must-see performances while allowing ample time between acts to relax, grab a bite, and fully immerse yourself in the festival atmosphere.

Avoid the common misconception that you need to see every act; it's far more rewarding to focus on those who truly resonate with your musical taste.

A well-crafted schedule can help you avoid overwhelm and ensure you don’t miss your favourite performances.

Arrive early

Festivals can get busy, and advantageous early arrivals are key to a favourable experience.

Gates typically open early, providing the perfect opportunity to preview the venue, savour delectable offerings from local food vendors, and orient yourself with the various stages.

Popular artists will draw large crowds, making it easy to secure a good viewing spot if you arrive in time.

Stay hydrated and nourished

The excitement of the festival can be so engrossing that it's easy to neglect basic self-care like eating and hydrating.

Make it a point to drink plenty of water to keep your energy levels high.

The plethora of food vendors offers a delightful taste of different cuisines, so be sure to sample these dishes while you revel in the beats.

Enjoying the wonderful flavours will enhance your festival experience!
