The Country Splash Festival in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico wrapped its inaugural weekend on Sunday (Sept. 6) after three days filled with poolside sets, sunset acoustic performances and nightly shows.

Guests experienced artists in a more intimate setting against the backdrop of Cabo, all while enjoying personalized hospitality, curated wellness experiences, concierge services and resort amenities throughout the talent-packed weekend.

On day one Jacob Hackworth kicked things off as the sun began to set, performing songs from his upcoming debut EP What Took You So Long. Dee Jay Silver kept the energy building, blending country favorites with hip-hop, house and EDM between each act, followed by Blake Whiten , whose performance included his Billboard Hot 100-charting single “Bet On That.”

Dasha then took the stage for a high-energy set that included her breakout hit, “Austin,” and Tucker Wetmore brought the inaugural night to its peak with a set featuring fan-favorites “Wind Up Missing You,” “3, 2, 1,” and “Sunburn.” With a 90-minute set that included “doing whatever I want up here,” Wetmore took the intentionally-intimate festival crowd back with “Casino,” "Drops of Jupiter,” and led the at-capacity-crowd through Beethoven, Queen and Journey sing-alongs on piano.

During the second day of the festival, guests transitioned from the pool to an intimate acoustic Sunset Fireside Sessions with Zach John King and Jon Pardi. The Main Stage opened with Dee Jay Silver before a performance from King, whose set featured songs from his recently released debut album I’m What You Get.

LOCASH then brought the fun and a three-piece mariachi band, and had the crowd singing along to their current single, “Let The Country Music Play,” and No. 1 “I Love This Life.” Pardi closed out the night with a set spanning a decade of hits, with the crowd singing along to “Head Over Boots, “Heartache Medication” and more to send the festival’s second night out on a high note.

Guests spent the final day of the festival moving between the pool, Sunset Fireside Sessions and the Main Stage at Paradisus Los Cabos, and as the pool closed and the sun began to set, fans gathered for intimate acoustic sets at the Sunset Fireside Sessions from Riley Green, Lauren Watkins, and Dasha.

Later as the moon rose above the Main Stage, Watkins kicked things off with a set showcasing her earthy mix of sunset country and heartland grit before Cameron Whitcomb brought backflips and an energetic stage presence to the final night. Green closed out the fest's inaugural weekend with a set filled with hits and fan favorites, turning the final performance into a full-scale singalong with songs “Different ‘Round Here,” “Think As You Drunk” and “Worst Way,” with Watkins joining for “Don’t Mind If I Do.”
