The BPM Festival is an annual electronic music festival, held in Playa del Carmen, Mexico.
The BPM Festival is an annual ten day and night electronic music festival, founded by Craig Pettigrew and Philip Pulitano, held in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. BPM, which stands for “Bartenders, Promoters, Musicians” was created in 2008 as a post-New Year’s gathering of industry professionals and has grown to a 70,000+ global gathering of DJs, producers, revelers and industry professionals featuring over 400 DJs and 80+ events. BPM parties are hosted both day and night at multiple venues in Playa Del Carmen, a picturesque beach town that runs along miles of soft white sand beaches and sparkling turquoise waters on the Mayan Riviera. The program is split into day and night showcases hosted by different record labels and promoters, across various venues in Playa del Carmen, including beachclubs, nightclubs and even an underground restaurant including DIYNAMIC, elrow, ENTER., Innervisions, Life and Death, Paradise, SCI+TEC and many more. Playa del Carmen offers a variety of affordable boutique hotels and condos, and options for dining and tourism, including ancient Mayan ruins, cenotes, aquatic sports and ecotourism.
In 2013, The BPM Festival won the "International Festival" award from DJ Awards in Ibiza and in 2016 was nominated by International Dance Music Awards for "Best Music Event" for a third year in a row, as well as “Festival of the Year” at the first ever Electronic Music Awards & Foundation. In addition, The BPM Festival won "Best Festival" in the EMPO Awards in 2015 with a nomination in 2016.
