Congratulations Los Dells for another fantastic and ever expanding festival.
Now into its third year this ever expanding festival
features music from across the Latin music spectrum and beyond. This year’s
headline acts, playing across Saturday and Sunday were global touring
musicians, ‘Logic’ and ‘Ozuna’. Both
acts delivered on their headlining position, closing out the festival with a
bang.
Elsewhere across the festival the fiesta continued across
four stages with giveaways, art displays and food all promoting Latino and South
American culture. Hidden away in an idyllic little town of Mauston did not stop
guests travelling from across the Midwest and beyond to taken in ‘Los Dells’. Many
of the other artists played to their hearts delight receiving with all artists receiving
a warm welcome on stage. Highlights for me came from ‘Fuego’ who rapped his way
through a great set and ‘Ximena Sarinana’ who lead the party with her hits. It
was also a pleasure to be invited to two bonus sets on Friday night pre
festival to see a neat warm up show.
Overall, the festival is very much still in its
infancy with a light attendance record and few art/food places to actually
check out it left some people feeling empty, especially when the charge for a two
day ticket is roughly $159. With that being said it is a relaxed and holistic
festival that showcases the best Latino acts worldwide, festivals are very
costly to set up these days so the cost reflects that. Personally I would absolutely recommend this festival as one to experience; hopefully as it grows
it will be the staple to end the summer time fun in the Wisconsin Dells.
Now enjoy a short picture gallery of the weekend...
