For some attendees, staying cool meant bringing their own equipment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">April Hernandez brought her daughter to the festival as an early 18th-birthday present. She carried a special clear backpack with a small water fan and mister.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;We have a little water fan in here that has a little mister. Theres lots of water stations, and lots of shade when you can find it,&#8221; Hernandez said. &#8220;WHEN you can find it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Despite the heat, fans said the festival was worth pushing through to see their favorite bands.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;Everyone here is just some of the best people you&#8217;ll ever meet,&#8221; said Franklin Rawlings, an attendee.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Sophia Talbert said she enjoyed the crowd and making new friends.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;It&#8217;s been really fun. I&#8217;ve had a lot of fun seeing all the people and the crowd&#8217;s really nice too, I&#8217;ve made some new friends here,&#8221; Talbert said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Organizers said they responded to the heat by adding more free water spigots, keeping bottled water available for $2 and adding misting fans to help keep large crowds cool. Medical and emergency response teams were also on site.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">More from ABC10: <a data-ylk=\"slk:Aftershock 2026: Fans line up early for the start of the four-day festival;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;link&quot;,&quot;yLinkElementType&quot;:&quot;article_link&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=zJfJi2OYqac\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Aftershock 2026: Fans line up early for the start of the four-day festival<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Aftershock wrapped up its four-day run Sunday night at Discovery Park in Sacramento, with organizers calling it the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":485759,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[121,123,122],"class_list":["post-485758","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sacramento","tag-sacramento","tag-sacramento-headlines","tag-sacramento-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/485758","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=485758"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/485758\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/485759"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=485758"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=485758"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=485758"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
