On site

There's the usual markets, bars, and food outlets. Several other celebrations of the arts take place within the Benicassim festival, including a short film festival, a fashion weekend, art exhibition, and a festival of dance and choreography, with educational arts courses on top of all this provided by local university, Universidad Jaume I.

Trenchtown, a festival within a festival, will bring the Caribbean and the best of Reggae, Ska, Dub and Dancehall music. This area will give visitors the chance to wander through the streets within the Jamaican themed village, hang out in the Kingston 12 Café and smell the Blue Mountain coffee whilst listening to acoustic sessions during the day. Chill out at Treasure Beach sipping on cocktails. At night Trenchtown unleashes a party just like Kingston JA. The Roots Inna Da Woods Arena fyahs it up! Sound systems bring the bass, turn up the heat and the dance rolls on til the last man and woman can dance no more. The best Batty Shakers join the Trenchtown Twerkers for the mother of all dance offs.
