Success of the Gold edition of the Reggaeton Beach Festival in Benidorm

The event met the musical and organisational expectations and took place completely normally.

The Gold edition of the Reggaeton Beach Festival in Benidorm, which took place last weekend at the new multipurpose facilities in Foietes, has been a complete “success”, meeting “the musical and organisational expectations of the public”, according to the Councillor for Events, Jesús Carrobles. 

"We are talking about a festival that is fully consolidated in our city, which has already held five editions, which grows year after year, always attentive to improving services and production, with new features that improve the experience of attendees and which is undoubtedly an attraction for young audiences."

The councillor recalled that “Reggaeton Beach is the first of three festivals that will take place in municipal facilities during the summer and early autumn”. Three festivals, he said, that “have already become established events in the city's calendar and that contribute to positioning Benidorm on the national circuit and in the musical and cultural tourism segment”.

Carrobles, who is also in charge of the Citizen Security area, explained that “as was certified during the inspection carried out at the festival by municipal inspectors, the security and health measures included in the Self-Protection Plan were strictly complied with, both in terms of the number of personnel and staff provided by the organisation and in terms of emergency measures”. 

In this regard, the councillor recalled that “more than 200 people have made up this device, between the means provided by the company and the personnel assigned by the Local Police, the National Police Force and Civil Protection”. 

The Events and Public Safety Officer reported that “the festival has taken place completely normally, with no significant incidents occurring during the event.” In total, 146 medical attentions were provided in the venue over the two days, mostly minor injuries due to sprains or sunstroke, and only one person was taken to hospital. 

This overall number of attendees represents “around 34% less than in the previous edition”, while “transfers have been reduced by 80%”.

Carrobles also pointed out that “the traffic system has also worked well during the development and end of the festival day, especially considering the volume of vehicles that Benidorm currently has.”
