The Corona Sunsets Festival also left as little behind as possible, setting the standard for festival sustainability in SA. Barring plastic used in some of the setup logistics, paper & biodegradable packaging replaced all single use plastics.
“As the first global beverage brand to attain a net zero plastic footprint, festival sustainability ties in with Corona’s deep connection to nature and a broader responsibility to do all it can to protect our environment and our oceans,” said Marsha Kumire, Corona Marketing Director. “The festival showed just how much we find our best selves in the outdoors, relaxing to great music with friends, and of course incredible sunsets.”
For the first time at the Corona Sunsets Festival. This year’s edition featured three dance floors while the festival also included organic craft food and art vendors. As well as a variety of interactive lifestyle experiences, including an underwater & outdoor VR Experience, and a Drum Circle.
