“Only on its second consecutive year, the fest, nestled on the glistening beach of Rosarito, Mexico, has managed to become a player on the global festival scene” – Billboard
“Baja Beach Fest Was a Game-Changing Showcase of Latinx Excellence” – Vice
“If you’ve heard anything about Baja Beach Fest — the reggaeton and Latin hip-hop festival coming to Rosarito, Mexico’s historic Papas & Beer this weekend — you know this: It’s a party. Like a big, wild, sprawling, bucket-list rager. And while other festivals seek to widen their reach by bringing in digital artists, broadening the genres they focus on, or adding in a health component, Baja Beach Fest is staying true to its identity.” – UPROXX
“…the sold-out show is already a success: Ozuna and Bad Bunny are among the two-dozen acts scheduled to perform Friday and Saturday in this coastal resort town about 30 minutes south of the border.” – LA Times

The Announcement:
Bringing beach vibes and standout sets from Latin music’s biggest stars, Baja Beach Fest has quickly become the flagship festival for the urbano boom. Propelled by a massively successful 2019, Baja Beach Fest announces its third annual festival, returning to Rosarito Beach, MX (just a 30-minute drive from San Diego) on August 14th-16th. Expanding from two to three days, Baja Beach Fest 2020 will bring more than 25 established and emerging Latin stars to the picturesque beach, and promises seaside spectacle, star-studded team-ups, and exclusive performances that you can’t catch anywhere else. The full lineup drops in March, but pre-sale tickets for the upcoming fest are now available for sale.
A coronation for the current crop of Reggaeton and Latin stars, Baja Beach Fest 2019 recruited Bad Bunny, J Balvin, and Ozuna (in his first festival performance) to headline the two-day soiree. The sold-out festival featured performances from Becky G, Nicky Jam, Brytiago, Amenazzy, Alex Rose, De La Ghetto, Cazzu and many more, earned positive mentions in Billboard, Vice, the L.A. Times, and was voted “Best New Festival in North America” by USA Today.
Providing a breezy and beautiful beach weekend full of the best in urban latin music, Baja Beach Fest is one of a kind. Founded by Chris Den Uijl and Aaron Ampudia in 2018, Baja Beach Fest is well on its way to becoming an institution in Rosarito and the music industry at large.

The Background:
When Ozuna and Mark B sang “El día está pa’ playa y arena, la vamos a pasar muy bien” in 2016, they very well may have been foreseeing the launch of the Baja Beach Fest two years later. The first and only festival of its kind–celebrating the Latin community, beach vibes, and young Reggaeton & Latin music–Baja Beach Fest is held on the sand of the oceanfront resort of Rosarito, creating an all-encompassing experience of music and coastal feels. It was imagined into existence by two friends, Chris Den Uijl and Aaron Ampudia, and dedicated to the local community who wanted to bring the world’s most streamed artists together for a weekend of music. In 2019, the sold-out festival expanded to two days and 30,000 tickets, boasting headlining performances from Bad Bunny, J Balvin, Nicky Jam, Becky G, and the first-ever festival appearance by Ozuna. Expanding to three days, Baja Beach Fest returns to Rosarito on August 14th-16th.
