Lifelong Chicagoan, been attending RF and other fests for many years. I'm probably on the "old" end and have a lot of experience. Advice from off the top of my head:
-What folks are saying here about rain is 100% accurate. It's rained at least 1 day every year. Bring a pair of rain or other good boots, and a rain poncho. They often sell them there, but they are crappy. Get a good one with snaps like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B016OD16RM/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_zFXoxbW6QPZWJ
They fold tiny and you can easily slip in a purse or pack. I've also used mine as a ground cover to sit and eat lunch and as shade when we couldn't find a vacant tree to sit under.

-This may sound funny, but if you are allergic to bee stings, make sure you have your epipen. Early fall makes wasps and hornets aggressive, along with the many often overflowing garbage cans. There will be wasps and hornets everywhere.

-I budget about $25/day for food. That's $12 each for 2 meals. Tacos are your friend, cheap and portable. There a ton of options, and I can honestly say relative bargains can be found if you keep your eyes open.

-I can't remember exact booze prices, but I want to say beer was about $8 for maybe 16-20 oz. They sell wine in little boxes with caps for around $15 (I want to say they are about 4 glasses worth) this is what we usually opt for because you can close them and put in your bag (I'm also not above watering my wine down so as not to get shitfaced.) Sneaking in a flask is generally pretty easy.

-Bring a large empty bottle (they won't let full ones in) to refill with water. I have been there when it was in the 50s and raining, and when it was in the upper 80s. Fall weather (well, all weather, actually) in Chicago is incredibly unpredictable, and if you're well hydrated you can endure most conditions.

-The park is off of the pink line on the cta. This means you can stay downtown and hop the train there. Note, ride services like Uber are also great for getting there, but getting out is often the longer, more frustrating slog. There's just so many people trying to leave at once like any big event. Expect to wait for at least 30 min. for a train back of you leave at closing time. Pee before you leave. Trust me on this.

-Note, Douglas Pk. is not in a tourist-friendly area of the city. Frankly, it's not exactly safe. However, they had cops lining the street from the venue to the train line last year, so just don't venture off the beaten path. Don't think you'll walk to a restaurant or bar after in the neighborhood, it's not a great idea. However, the Pilsen neighborhood is adjacent to the area, and that is a fantastic area for Mexican food (formerly a mostly Mexican area, now gentrifying but not completely there yet, still can find a ton of authentic Mexican food and fun bars.) If you want to go to the "fun" parts of the city after, like say Wicker Pk or Logan Sq., you'll have to switch to the blue line downtown. This will likely take you about 1.5 hours if you leave with everyone else. (Before Chicagoans chime in, we went to CA blue line stop last year and that's how long it took us.)

-Finally, remember that you are in a major urban area with its fair share of crime. When traversing the city, especially at night, pay attention to the world around you: keep your ear buds out of your ears and don't yap on the phone. If you can, travel in a group. If you're a woman, think about a cross-body bag to make it harder for your purse to be grabbed. Don't "flash your cash" outside of the event. Keep your wits about you and you won't advertise yourself as a target.

I hope you enjoy RF and our beautiful city!

Look into, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)

Pretty much its therapy that revolves around practicing mindfulness. Very easy to do and good to do with others. Maybe you and your grandmother could do some mindfulness meditation stuff together.

I found these to be my sunglasses of choice for festivals.

Decently priced at $8 and at least somewhat durable. I bought 2 pair, one for RF and one for normal use. They're good for the price.

I’ve brought Camelbaks to quite a few festivals. I carry it in one of these:

I'm looking for the limited edition screen printed version. Like this (but I don't really care about Dee Snyder.
