Wanting to hit up a festival

So i've never actually been to a music festival of any sort before, but they look like a lot of fun. thinking I might pop that cherry next year.
don't really know that much about them though, so sell/educate me on what is available. what is recommended. etc.
I live in ontario so something in the east is preferable.
also burning man is already on the travel list for one of these years, as is wasteland weekend. so no need to push those.

There are tons of great festivals within a few hours of most anywhere in the US or Canada. The festival you choose should reflect your taste in music and the vibes you want to be around; chill jam music then follow sheekle's advice; electronic music, Electric Forest, LiB, shambhala, or DH; indy SxSW or Treefort, Mainstream, Coachella or Lallapalooza, EDM or douche bro scene, EDC or Ultra.
Careful though, there are so many festivals these days and many of them give no fucks about you, the artists or the experience they create. They're just after your money. Fest300 is a good blog and will normally steer you in the right direction to not feeling ripped off and taken advantage of... Have fun!

the one I'm really most excited to check out is wasteland weekend since that is 110% my speed. but the dates for next year haven't been announced yet and I do want to check out other things.
as for my taste in music... I can dance to just about anything, i'm more interested in getting out and meeting some awesome people and doing something i'd never done before.

not in the east at all but Shambhala in BC gets good mentions (it's the only one I've been to so my opinion counts for little but it was pretty cool imo, especially the setting)

Not sure about the Canada festival scene, but make sure to smuggle your drugs in! Put them inside something weird, like camping gear or something. If its smelly, triple wrap it with plastic baggies or vac bags. Stash in your underwear is also a good idea too, they never check there 
And dont bring a lot of valuables, theres thieves abound.

Great advice, I was at a local fest a few years back that had a ton of shit stolen the last night, well someone used a phone tracking app and they found a tend full of stolen phones, wallets, bongs, drugs and all sorts of random stuff. They also found a ton of emptied backpacks strewn about. LEO and the sheriff got called and they had a table of stolen goods people could reclaim.
On the table was bongs, jars of weed, vials, wallets, phones, and a bunch of random stuff with a sheriff standing right next to it

Dude if you live in Toronto, just go to comfort zone
That place fucking changed my life
It's quite the experience if you haven't been
And you will definitely meet cool people there.
Music is always top notch too.

Really? I'd always heard really sketch things about CZ... also I don't really do drugs but enjoy drinking, so i'm not sure how much i'd enjoy an after hours club anymore. might still check it out some time though.

Don't really do much in the way of drugs, as such I figured that rather than risk getting caught with them myself I would probably just find whatever little bits I might need inside. Wouldn't bring any valuables with me anyways. don't see why anyone would want to see a festival through a cell phone camera rather than experience it.

indeed. Sounds like youre ready.
Oh, some supplies. Lots of gallons of water, canned food, a mini stove, variety of foods and snacks, sharable foods are good.
If u got lots of money, the food vendors are tasty but spendy.
Bring a camera for pictures. Dont leaving it in your tent! might get stolen.
Bring condoms, Ive been approached by women who were....well, ya know. I missed out cause i was puppy dogged in love with a girl who later broke my heart. Dont be that guy!
