Music, Mohitos, Magic…and Mexico
I don’t know about you.. but I am thinking about Summer. I’m not just thinking about it, I’m dreaming in Magnums and bikinis.. and in my dream I also look like a super model in my bikini… even if I’m eating 7 Magnums a day.
Even though I love my city, getting out of London for a little bit during the Summer months is fairly normal for me, and if I can combine this with friends, food, sunshine and music.. so much the better.
Last year I was lucky enough to get to Wilderness and this year I will be there again with bells on. Actual bells. And recently, there have also been some other twinkly festivals which have made themselves known to me.. slightly off the beaten track.. and perhaps not ones you would usually consider… Ready?
CANCUN MUSIC FESTIVAL – Aug 28th – Sept 1st
Cancun? Yes, Cancun. Cancun in Mexico. Did you know they have an annual music festival? Well they do. The Cancun Music Festival hosts thousands of guests from around the world, who all converge in one of the world’s arguably, most beautiful and tranquil destinations. The music includes nationally recognized artists from around the world as well as local musicians from the Cancun area, which I love. I’ve never been to Cancun myself, but after a wee bit of research it appears that First Choice will whizz you over there (in a plane and everything) and you can choose your humble dwellings from their selection of STUNNING hotels.
MEADOWS IN THE MOUNTAINS FESTIVAL
Bulgaria, June 13th – 15th
Completely unlike any festival in the world, Meadows is nestled high up in the stunning Rhodope Mountains in Bulgaria, very proud of its quirky and different attitude that doesn’t follow trends and other festivals’ concepts.
“Watch the morning mist cascade over the mountain range as shadowy forms convulse and glide to the rhythmic beats of house and techno…”
“Dwell at the forefront of sound as jazz, folk and disco float through the intricacies of melody.”
“Indulge your primordial appetites with hearty food to feed the soul; all locally grown and locally produced.”
Wowee. And if you need more convincing – have a little looksie at this video…
WEEKEND ON THE EDGE OF THE LAKE FESTIVAL
Switzerland, June 27th – 29th
Visual art, live painting, ‘Groove Music’, beach animations and balloon modelling. Who would not want to go? Set in the heart of the Alps and on the stunning Geronde Lake in Switzerland, this boutique festival is in its 8th year of fabulousness.
So, there you have it. Three magical getaways for you to explore… and if you go, please tell me! I’ll be the one with a Magnum.
Or seven.
