25 Items to Snag on Amazon Before Movement 2024
Movement 2024 is Memorial Day Weekend, and if you’re like me, you probably have certain needs to cover your ass when it comes to going to a festival. Thankfully, after visiting this festival every year since 2009, I’ve got you covered on things you should have on hand when you pass through the Hart Plaza gates.
Keep in mind, small bags, single-compartment backpacks, plush backpacks, and purses (maximum 12″x12″) are what is allowed for attendees at the festival.

This Sony point-and-shoot camera is set for content creation, so if you’re an aspiring influencer or didn’t get a media approval this year for Movement, being strapped with more than your phone can help you capture the event as best as possible. Plus, Sony Zeiss lenses are some of the best around, and the 1.8-2.8 notes on the front of the lens indicate that it will operate well in low-light scenarios. Just don’t start posting 100 photos in albums on Facebook, this isn’t 2006.

While there are a lot of really expensive earplugs out on the market, when you’re going to festivals, sometimes going cheap is the way to go – that way you don’t lose your earplugs and lament over it for years to come (we have experience in this area).

URBAN DECAY All Nighter Setting Spray
We’ve got a testimonial for you: If you’re wearing makeup and want to keep it on, there’s no better than Urban Decay’s All Nighter setting spray. We have used this for past Movement Festivals and our makeup stayed intact, even on 90-degree days. For the best application, spray your primed face, apply your foundation, spray again, add your eyes, eyebrows, lips, etc, and spray again. While your lips are going to wear over the day (eating, kissing, drinking), the rest of it’s gonna stick around unless you’re trapped in a hurricane.

mophie Power Bank
This is a rapid-charge power bank that is slated to charge your phone up to 50% within 30 minutes. It includes a USB-A to USB-C cord, but if you have an iPhone you’ll need to bring your own cord. You can also charge 2 devices at once, and it has light indicators to let you know how much power is left inside the bank. Definitely worth it if you tend to record video for your memories.

Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Water Resistant and Non-Greasy Sunscreen Lotion, Broad Spectrum SPF 70
We give our full support to this particular sunscreen. While a lot of people will scoff at the 70 SPF and maybe opt for 40, you have to remember that much of Hart Plaza doesn’t have a ton of shade cover unless you’re in VIP, so stacking yourself up with at least 70 will almost guarantee no sunburns, and having 3 FL OZ of it will be enough to cover you for reapplication through the weekend. This is a cream, as aerosols are not allowed at Movement.
Native Whole Body Deodorant Stick Deodorant for Men and Women | 72 Hour Odor Protection, Aluminum Free with Coconut Oil and Shea Butter | Unscented
As someone who’s participated in a lot of comic-cons and anime conventions, reminding people to wear deodorant isn’t us copping out on a spot on this list. In fact, there are a lot of people who apparently don’t think or don’t know they smell. Don’t be one of those people and pack this full-body deodorant that lasts for “72 hours.” I’d still reapply when I feel as if it was needed. And just a friendly tip – pack this in a ziplock bag in case the heat gets out of control. Once again, aerosols are not allowed at Movement, so this stick is your best-case scenario.
