and DJs — delivering something for every kind of music lover. Expect

celebrating 16 years of unforgettable moments, this year’s edition is
set to turn the energy all the way up, with more than 20,000
festival-goers expected to join the celebration.

And it’s not just about the music. Festival-goers can look forward to

collaborations, art installations, local food trucks, surprise pop-ups
and plenty of unexpected moments throughout the day.

So, gather your crew, lock in the date and get ready to dance, connect
and celebrate Spring the Spring Fiesta way.

        “Spring Fiesta is about the music, the energy and, most
importantly, the people who have been rolling with us from day one.
Sixteen years on, we’re still pushing boundaries, creating
unforgettable moments and bringing people together through music. This
year, we’re celebrating where we’ve come from while turning the
