On January 28th, we had an amazing time at the Corona Sunsets Festival in Punta Piedra, Concon, Chile. The festival was on the beach a few hours from Santiago just north of of the beautiful city of Vina del Mar. In attendance was somewhere between 2,000 and 3,000 people. The structures around the festival were made from recycled wooden pallets and was accented with decorations that gave it a tropical design. The structures included a tower that overlooked the festival and stadium style seating lounge with giant pillows. Two other long lounge spaces complete with bars spread out on both sides of the stage. The sound was amazing featuring Tropical House Music and the light show and fireworks at the end made the entire experience spectacular.
Check out the video of the final set with fireworks. I had to cut the video a little short cause my feet felt like dancing. I also included 3 panoramic pictures of the festival but you will have to scroll to the bottom.
Amazing Festival Staff!!
The Corona Sunsets Festival had staff that was inviting and friendly, several staff members were dedicated to greeting and explaining the different event areas. Some staff were placing metallic tattoos on the attendees. While other staff kept the grounds amazingly clean including the real bathrooms on semi trucks. I have never scene such a well organized and professional event.
