Best Fest is a 3 day (February 7th – 9th, 2014) grassroots music festival nestled between pristine jungle and one of the most beautiful beaches in Costa Rica, Playa Ballena.
The organizers routinely say that their location is one of the headliners of the festival and for good reason. The epic venue is located on a 2000 acre farm, just south of Uvita, and is a one of a kind environment where whales jump just off shore, surfer and standup paddle boarders hang out in the waves between music sets, and last year phosphorescence lit nighttime swims in the pacific ocean. The organizers are adding more camping infrastructure, more experiential art pieces, a 6 hole disc golf course and the “little wrangler” kids zone to make attendees experiences even better in 2014.
Best Fest lineup includes some returning acts such as Ojo de Buey, Cocofunka, Ben Fagan and the Holy City Hooligans, The Werks, Chris Gelbuda, JamiSun, Savi Fernandez Band, Pierre Monney and Infibeat. Best Fest first timers include Conspirator, ProbCause, Talawa, Dangermuffin and Jerry Joseph and the Jackmormons. Best Fest attendees will enjoy a variety of music genres including: bues, rock, soul, reggae, funk, electronic and more. The organizers say more artist announcements are coming soon, so go like their Facebook page, to stay in the know.
Best Fest has created travel packages for those living outside Costa Rica. Standard packages range between $270 – $499 and custom packages are available to fit any budget. Email the Best Fest travel team at travel@thebestfestival.com for more information.
Discounted Early Bird tickets for Best Fest were released on November 12th with more ticketing options on the way including a special three day Costa Rican residents pass that will include entrance into Marino Ballena National Park, camping and transportation from San Jose, Jaco, Manuel Antonio and Perez Zeledon.
