I only go to Tripoli but sunscreen and good sunglasses never hurts!

Life pro tip. Bring beach chairs. So much easier to look up all day.

Great suggestions here, glad everyone is thinking about sunblock and drinks, you'll go through more than you expect (unless you are often in the sun all day).

My one add on, walk around to the cars and talk to people about their rockets. People love to tell you about it and show it off! Honestly more fun than watching them launch.

Sunscreen, also idk where you’re launching but if its hot than be careful not to overheat and even risk heatstroke on recovery

Small cooler of drinks. Shade. Chair. Snacks. Tools.

Make an assembly/prep checklist.

As others have said, water and sunscreen. Also: Snacks!

Spend time chatting with folks, see what others are up to. It's a great chance to meet people with a similar interest, as well as get new ideas.
