Your Official CCMF Pre-Game Checklist

Hey CCMFer’s! As CCMF approaches, you need to know some important information about the fest.

We know you’re excited, but with excitement comes the possibility of forgetting something. Don’t worry though, we’ve got you covered so you don’t forget to bring or do anything before the fest!

Here is your Official CCMF Pre-Game Checklist:

  1. Register your CCMF wrist band. Be sure to activate your wristbands before the fest so that you can walk right in when things kick-off!
  2. Download the CCMF app. The CCMF app is the perfect way to schedule which artists you want to see so you don’t miss the their performance. Plus, we added new ones!
  3. Turn on On-Site Notifications. Once you’ve downloaded the app, be sure to make sure you opt-in for location notifications. You’ll be able to walk around the festival grounds and easily learn what’s going on, and tips of what to try!
  4. Plan your perfect CCMF look. Not only will there be tons of awesome people wandering around the festival grounds, but lots of cameras as well. We’re going to be out there looking for some super stylish CCMFers looking their best. If you’re looking to get spotted, be sure to follow us on social for information about our theme night, U.S. of A. Day, and to see if you made our daily recaps!
  5. Figure out how you’re getting to and from the fest. Whether you’re catching an uber, having someone drop you off, or parking off-site, make sure you know the details. Pick-up/drop-off is at the festival entrance, and shuttle service will be from the Myrtle Beach City Lot. For more information about parking, visit our CCMF 101 page.
  6. Know what to bring. It’s important you have everything you need when you get to the festival so that you don’t miss any of the great performances we have scheduled. Here’s a few things we strongly recommend everyone bring with them:
    1. I.D (get this checked at the I.D. station first thing each day to drink)
    2. Cell phone
    3. Comfortable shoes
    4. Breathable apparel (it’s gonna get hot!)
    5. Sunscreen
    6. Bags that are clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC and do not exceed 12” x 6” x 12” (learn more about our bag policy)
  7. Know what NOT to bring. We want to make sure that everyone at the fest has a great time. In order to ensure that, there are a some items which are not allowed at the festival.

  8. Last, but certainly not least, Be Kind! We want to have everyone’s memories of CCMF be about the great music, great times, and the great people the met at the fest!
