On May 2nd and 3rd, 2026, Michelada Fest LLC took over Ascarate Park Pool & Aquatics in El Paso. Known for blending music, culture, and community, the festival delivered a full weekend experience that brought people together from all around.
Right away, the atmosphere stood out. The poolside setting added a unique feel. The crowd showed up early. And as the music started, the energy built quickly.
A Lineup That Kept the Crowd Moving
Throughout the weekend, a diverse group of artists took the stage, including Deorro, Marca MP, Arsenal Efectivo, Juanes, Paloma Mami, Dareyes DLS and Karebear.
First, the daytime sets created a relaxed and social vibe. Then, as the evening came in, the performances brought higher energy and bigger moments. Each artist added something different. And because of that, the crowd stayed engaged from start to finish.
Lasers That Elevated the Experience
To match the music, the production featured:
- 2 × 30-watt KVANT Atom lasers
- 6 × 20-watt KVANT Atom lasers
At first, the beams added subtle movement across the space. Then, as the night built, the visuals became more defined and dynamic.
Because of that balance, the lasers enhanced the performances without taking away from the artists on stage.
Behind the Production
Running the laser system was JeanPaul Alves, who kept everything smooth and consistent throughout the weekend.
Each cue stayed on time. Each transition felt clean. And the visuals stayed aligned with the music.
A Weekend to Remember
As the festival came together, the mix of music, culture, and production created a strong overall experience. The setting felt unique. The energy stayed steady. And the crowd remained fully engaged.
In the end, Michelada Fest delivered more than just performances — it created a full weekend atmosphere that brought people together in El Paso.
