Sundream Baja Festival | 3 Epic Days of San Jose Del Cabo Shenanigans

Tacos, tequila, and shenanigans at sunrise! My return to Sundream, this time in Baja, was everything I hoped it would be – plus so much more!

For the second year in a row, earlier this month I made my eagerly-awaited return to sunny Mexico to embark on a three-day music festival curated by Rufus Du Sol – Sundream. Once again,  I have left completely in awe of the all-encompassing sensation that is Sundream. This time in an entirely new, but equally impressive, location.

Like millions around the world, I’m a massive fan of Rufus Du Sol’s music – especially after attending their inaugural edition of Sundream Tulum last year, held on the coastline of Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula. That ended up being, without a doubt, one of my favorite weekends of the year. My festival-loving friends and I speculated about whether there would be another Sundream, or if it would just be one of those special one-off festivals that we talked about for years to come. 

Fortunately, Rufus Du Sol soon announced the second installment of Sundream, and this time, they’d be bringing it to an entirely new location in Mexico – SUNDREAM BAJA. 

Set amidst a series of scenic, sprawling gardens just outside the small town of San Jose Del Cabo in Baja California, Sundream once again delivered an unforgettable experience held across two weekends that will forever hold a special place in my heart. All festivals should be like this.

Let’s dive into my breakdown of the festival, and what made it such a special experience. 

Sunny San Jose Del Cabo

While I’m sure there are many out there who preferred Tulum as the destination for Sundream, I’m definitely on #TeamBaja now. I absolutely love this part of Mexico, and really believe that it’s going to become the next go-to hotspot for house and techno events in Mexico. After what I experienced at Sundream Baja, I can say that with certainty. 

Everything about San Jose Del Cabo for a destination music festival location makes sense. The airport is only a 20-minute drive from town, car rentals are extremely cheap (and you can actually avoid the classic Mexico car rental scams), there are tons of affordable accommodation options (from Airbnb to budget…
