The venue had very little seating options and since the griund wasnt grass you were basically standing for your entire duration there. There was barely no areas of shade so if youre going and its hot bring your hat or you will get heatstroke. Also there was only one stage area and the main standing portion for people was blocked by gates that opened occasionally. For one of the headliners when the gates opened people were pushing to get through so much i almost suffocated to death and became a sad news headline. This system seriously needs to change if there is to be another one next year otherwise it’s a lawsuit waiting to happen

Comparativement aux autres festivals que j’ai assisté, la sécurité au festival fuego fuego n’était pas là meilleure. Je trouve qu’il manquait de sécurité au niveau de la barrière entre le public du devant et celui de derrière. Lorsque les sécurités ouvrait la barrière pour permettre au monde de passer, c’était extrêmement dangereux. Le monde poussaient la barrière et les sécurités avaient de la difficulté à la refermer. L’attente entre les chanteurs était extrêmement longue, attendre 45 min au chaud c’était très long.
The ambiance of the festival was great. Organization on point, felt safe and secure at all time. Food trucks and drink stands were fast and practical. The water refill tank was great and bathrooms availability was very good, we never waited more than 5 mins to use it as rotation was quick. The artists line up was awesome, great mix. Fuego fuego 2023 was an amazing experience!!! Thanks for organizing it and for the appreciation to the modern Latino culture and music.
Loved all the performances! I wish the stage had a runway like sueños. It was way more organized and tighter security than last year.
Really enjoyed everything BUT the only downside for people like me who don’t smoke was the excessive smell of cannabis products in the crowd… the smell was suffocating and made the experience uncomfortable. I would go back to another of these festivals but would appreciate it there were smoke free areas.
Le coté vip devrais être mieu situé et structurer pour le confort des gens qui ont payé pour.
Fuego Fuego never fails. It was so good. There was so many people but it was so worth it
Fuego festival was sensational! You were able to buy drinks everywhere you moved (front and back) The only thing that was disappointing is that at the front close to the scenario there was no washrooms. So if you wanted to go you had to go all the way back to be able to use them; and there was no way for you to go back to the front again; my friends and I got separate because of that. I do think there should be some at the front at least. Other than that everything was pretty cool! I enjoyed every minute of it. Sad Sech couldn’t make it :( but the other artists were awesome 😎 image if the festival was close to the beach? Wow wow wow 🤩
The shows were so incredibles, high performances and the most popular singers.
Organisation sur place parfait , ambiance excellente surtout 2 em journée . A refaire
Lineup was great, but like last year, some artists canceled and the layout of the place was hella dangerous. The place was obvisouly crowded and still people kept pushing. There weren’t enough emergency escape routes and I’m fully convinced that one threat of security (gunsh*t or else) would have led to crowd crush or a stampede. I’m also convinced they provided a lineup to raise and collect sales and never planned on actually having them at the festival. They told us the day before the festival that Sech wouldn’t be able to play because of visa issues THE DAY BEFORE he was supposed to perform. Planning festival and booking artists is something that’s at least a year in the making so they had plenty of time to coordinate that and getting notice that he wouldn’t be able to get his visas. I think with a better venue and more honest lineup and coordination this could have been a 5/5. For the price we’re paying they should be able to ensure our safety and a good lineup.
It is unfair to have a fence that divided the space close to the stage and the area where the food stands and the bathrooms were. If anybody was close to the stage, they needed to go out past the fence and then struggle to go back in. Some of us had to spend all 8 hours without food or bathroom not to go out and basically not to get hit by the crowd trying to get in again
I could definitely see the improvement this year for Fuego Fuego. It was way bigger, the screens at the back and I thought that separating the place in 4 was very great since it avoids overcrowding. The artists were great, there was people picking up the trash as well so it was never disgusting. The only cons or things I would improve would be it would be nice if they would allow people to come in and out of the festival, I never come early because I know I will be stuck and won't be able to come out. They could create special stamp that can't be duplicate or bracelets if you go out. The other thing is I think it would be great and way faster if there was a line for people bags and people without bags, I think it would go faster for entering the festival too
Lester’s Food Truck is the worst, I wouldn’t recommend anyone going there. They chose their own tip and didn’t even ask for consent. A hamburger had a cost of $8.50 dollars, I got two of them and they charged $31 dollars, which means they tipped themselves $14 dollars which is tip of almost 50%, when I confronted the woman she said they were taxes. Terrible service, they didn’t even offer me napkins. DO NOT GO THERE AGAIN! Regarding the festival, the second day was well organized and that’s the only reason I’m giving them a 3
It was amazing I would be great if you had more Latin reggaeton singers but it was amazing still
The festival was great so much fun the only thing I would complain about is the fact that they only have 1 section for bathrooms away from the stage and if you leave the stage area to go to the bathroom you can't come back in. Maybe have bathrooms in both sections not fair that friend groups get separated for. Poor. Organization
Amazing weekend! Great artists. Only downside was the closed gate inside festival access which means that if you needed to go get something to eat or use the bathroom you couldn't come back to the section in front of the stage. Never had experienced something like this before.
A really amazing and well put together event, I just wish there was a bit more food options and a couple more bars but other than that I loved the actual layout and the artist line up! I can’t wait for 2024!
