The Munich Bachata Fest returned for its second edition, surpassing every expectation and setting new standards in the Bachata world. With 2,000 guests from all over the world gathering at The Westin Grand Munich, the festival became a true celebration of dance, music, and community.
The preparation was as intense as the event itself—1.5 days and nights of setup, ensuring that every decorative element, every lighting concept, and every space reflected the theme of each day and night. This year, we expanded further:
More partner booths & experiences: From a stylish Campari Bar and a Western Union Photo Station to an exclusive Langhaarmädchen by DM Styling Station, where guests could get their hair styled to match the night’s theme. AlvaresShoes brought a full pop-up store to the venue, Modance Fashion showcased beautiful dancewear and jewelry, and our merchandise stand was packed with festival shirts, fans, shoes, and even a tombola.
New: Personalized Festival Cups – Each guest received a reusable cup with their name, giving them access to multiple free water stations throughout the event.
Record-Breaking Dance Contest: The Sunday dance competition made history with over 200 participants, setting a new milestone in the global Bachata scene.
Non-Stop Energy: The festival pulsed with excitement for three days, featuring workshops, masterclasses, and all-inclusive buffet meals, leading into nightly parties across two dance floors. Even at 6:30 AM, when the final party ended, the crowd was still at its peak.
Innovative Tech Upgrades: For the first time, we introduced live streaming of workshops on a giant screen in the main ballroom. At night, we took things up a notch with a live screen management system, where real-time footage of guests, DJs, and dance floors was broadcast across the venue.
Unforgettable Moment: In a first for any Bachata festival, we witnessed a surprise marriage proposal—an emotional and magical highlight that left everyone in awe.
Bigger & Better Goodie Bags: Our Gold Ticket holders received an even more valuable selection of gifts this year, thanks to partners like Chocolate&Love, Trendy&New, TrendItUp, Red Bull, YFood, Crodino, and many more.
Incredible Guest Feedback: Post-event surveys reflected the sheer joy and excitement of the attendees—pure enthusiasm, overwhelming appreciation, and a shared desire to return.

Beyond leading the full event management, I carried the entire project leadership, ensuring seamless execution across all aspects—from the initial concept, marketing strategy, and sponsorships to the logistics, team coordination, and technical production. The scale of this event required an immense collaborative effort, and it’s this unwavering team spirit that makes the Munich Bachata Fest what it is. And we can’t wait for the next edition!
