March–MarchSeason

Chile has 1 festival in this guide, spread across 1 city. They run in March, and festival-day temperatures range from 29°C (84°F) to 29°C (84°F), with nights down to 14°C (57°F). That range is the reason there is no single "Chile festival outfit". The answer changes by month and by site.

Every one of them runs in real heat (28°C or more), where loose natural fabrics beat coverage and a brimmed hat does more than any garment.

The ground matters as much as the sky. Every festival here is on city park, which puts broken-in trainers or a low boot at the top of the list for most of these events. None of them have camping on site, so you are travelling in and out each day and the outfit has to survive the journey at both ends.

Stylistically the crowd here leans y2k, streetwear, indie and pop. Lollapalooza Chile is the largest of them at around 100,000 people, and it sets the tone the smaller ones react to. None of that is a dress code. It is what you will see, which is worth knowing if you would rather blend in or deliberately not.

Festival dressing in Chile: FAQ

It depends on which one and when. Festival days in Chile range from 29°C (84°F) to 29°C (84°F), with nights down to 14°C (57°F), so a light base plus one carryable warm layer covers most of them. Rain risk is low to moderate, so the day-to-night drop is the main thing to plan around.

The festivals in this guide run in March. Exact dates are set by the organisers each year. Check the official site of the festival you are going to before booking travel.

Down to about 14°C (57°F) at the coldest of these festivals. That is cold enough that a jacket you can carry all day is worth the inconvenience.

Broken-in boots or trainers, and never anything new. You will walk 15.000 to 30.000 steps a day, and footwear is the only garment that can end your weekend early.
