Founded in 2016 with the intention of integrating and celebrating our shared universal connectors of music, the arts, scenic landscapes and gastronomy, SXM Festival is not only an escape, but an immersion into a global community and its home in the heart of the Caribbean.
Synonymous with a sense of discovery, SXM Festival exists in a category all its own, where each day offers a new and personal experience rooted in the exploration of a shared dance floor – our island. An island-wide affair set against the secluded beaches, lush rainforests, stunning villas, boats and beach clubs of this idyllic backdrop, thousands of professional party-goers make this pilgrimage every year in search of the one-of-a-kind experiences and artistic wonders that SXM Festival offers.
In addition to an epic line-up of electronic music performances, SXM Festival attendees are encouraged to “choose their own adventure” with a customizable itinerary that leans into the brand’s island roots and its diverse influences. Options range from indulging in gourmet dining experiences to kicking back at a local BBQ. From unwinding at the festival’s stunning flagship Hommage Hotel and plane watching in Maho, to zip-lining over the island, surfing, jet skiing, or simply lounging at one of the 37 beaches along the 70-mile coastline, there are endless ways to experience paradise the SXM Festival way.
This year, the illustrious SXM Festival has further amplified its sonic offerings through strategic alliances. Joining hands with the global celebrated label, Anjunadeep, festival-goers are in for a mesmerizing sunset partly set against the pristine shores of Boho Beach on Thursday, March 14. Marking another exciting collaboration with ZERO NYC, the city’s eminent party promoter, will weave its enchantment for a captivating sunrise event at Boho beach on Sunday, March 17. These partnerships exemplify SXM Festival’s commitment to curating exceptional musical experiences and its ethos of uniting likeminded communities in the realm of electronic music.
The local community has been profoundly ingrained in the SXM Festival story. At its core, SXM Festival is an unwavering celebration of cultural connectivity and adventure, guiding attendees through the island’s soul and spirit. The relationship between SXM Festival, St. Martin/St. Maarten and its people informs every aspect of the guest experience and interaction with the island.
Though SXM Festival takes place in March, efforts continue year-round to promote respectful tourism and contribute to the island’s cultural and natural scenes in order to have a positive impact on native communities.
Since its first edition in 2016, the organizers of the SXM Festival have sought to develop and maintain a sustainable event. Every inch and element of festival venues are carefully crafted months ahead by innovative artistes from around the world who integrate recycled materials and natural elements into each design.
Following a “leave no trace” principle, SXM Festival carefully prepares, cleans and re-cleans each festival site in an effort to leave every natural space as beautiful as it was. SXM Festival also implements eco-friendly innovations including energy saving LED and solar light to strengthen their commitment to becoming increasingly more sustainable year after year.
