Levitate Music Festival: Sunny Skies and 80°F in Marshfield
Levitate Music Festival takes over Marshfield Fairgrounds on Sunday, July 19, with things kicking off at 12:00 PM ET. Good news for anyone still deciding what to wear: the National Weather Service is calling for a sunny day with a high near 80°F and only a 9% chance of rain. This is about as clean a forecast as an outdoor festival day gets.
What the Weather Actually Looks Like
Expect sun for most of the day and temperatures climbing toward that 80°F high. Wind will be out of the west at 9 to 13 mph — noticeable but not disruptive, mostly a factor for anything you set up on the fairgrounds lawn (think tents, chairs, or blankets that can catch a gust).
What to wear: light, breathable layers work best. Skip anything heavy — with sun and a near-80°F high, you’ll want to stay cool from the first set to the last. Comfortable walking sandals are worth the switch if you’re planning to be on your feet across the fairgrounds all day.
What to bring: since rain chances are low, this is really a sun-and-heat day, not a rain-gear day. SPF 50 sport sunscreen should be non-negotiable — you’re outdoors from midday on with no guaranteed shade. Reapply if you’re out there for the long haul.
Festival Gear That Actually Matters Today
A hydration backpack is one of the smartest things you can bring to a full-day outdoor festival — it keeps water on you hands-free so you’re not making constant trips back to a refill station in 80°F sun.
If you’re staking out a spot for the day, a foldable camping chair makes long sets a lot more comfortable, and it’s easy to carry in and out of the fairgrounds. If you or your crew are setting up a home base for the whole day, a pop-up canopy tent with weights is worth considering — with wind running 9 to 13 mph, the weights matter more than the shade does today.
Keep a portable phone charger 20000mah in your bag too. Between photos, videos, and just staying in touch with your group across the fairgrounds, festival days drain batteries fast.
Practical Tips for the Day
Give yourself extra time for parking and getting settled before the 12:00 PM ET start — fairgrounds venues like this tend to have lot traffic as everyone arrives around the same window. If the venue has a clear-bag policy (many festival venues do), a clear stadium bag is a safe bet to avoid any issues at the gate.
Bottom Line
This is close to ideal festival weather: sunny, warm, and dry, with just enough wind to keep things from feeling stagnant. Sunscreen, water, and a plan for staying comfortable in the sun are your priorities for Levitate Music Festival — leave the rain gear at home this time.
