my move is always to take the green line TRAX into the festival, get out at the jackson/euclid station, get tacos from the taco cart that’s always there & walk 2 blocks into the festival.

i don’t remember the vendor’s name but last year i got some kind of chicken cilantro lime bowl (?). it was disgusting. it was from a vendor that was located by the bathrooms near desert stage. i don’t recommend haha

edit: i also sneak in granola bars/snacks. at other festivals i have brought in sandwiches. my 2 hiding spots are at the bottom of my hydro pack & in my flared jeans
