Outside Days, our annual celebration of music, film, and all things outdoor, is just around the corner—and this year’s festival, May 29-31, is bigger than ever. With headliners like Death Cab for Cutie, My Morning Jacket, and Cage the Elephant, along with an extra day of fun, it’s gearing up to be one of the biggest festivals of the year. Which means it’s time for you to do some gearing up of your own.
It’s no secret that REI is the hub for everything you need to enjoy a weekend outside. But it gets better. The REI Co-op® Mastercard® is your ticket to year-round gear savings, with 5% in card rewards on all REI purchases, plus access to exclusive discounts and perks at Outside Days.
