The story

Strings & Sol is a music festival that takes place from December 9 to 12, 2026, in Puerto Morelos, Mexico. The festival is held at Dreams Sapphire Resort and features a lineup of artists known for their contributions to the bluegrass and string music genres. It brings together fans for a diverse musical experience in a beachside setting.

Strings & Sol is a 4-day bluegrass, string band festival at N/A in Puerto Morelos, Mexico. The December 2026 edition runs 9–12 Dec 2026.

Announced so far: Andy Falco, Béla Fleck, Dominick Leslie, Greensky Bluegrass, Jake Stargel, Jeff Partin, Jerry Douglas and Leftover Salmon and 9 more. Expect stages split between Bluegrass and String Band. The line-up is spread across the 4 festival days, so a full-weekend ticket is the only way to catch every name.

Everything happens at N/A, in Puerto Morelos. Puerto Morelos is the base for the trip: it is where the affordable beds, the late trains and the after-parties are, and where prices climb fastest as the dates approach.

Strings & Sol keeps the same calendar slot each year: December 2026 for this edition, opening on a Wednesday and closing on a Saturday. It is a winter date, so indoor stages and a warm place to sleep matter more than they would in July — and off-season travel is often cheaper. That slot matters for the budget — flights and rooms in Puerto Morelos are priced for the festival weekend, not the week around it, so shifting your arrival by a day often saves more than any ticket tier does.

• Running since at least 2026
• Held over 4 days
• Features multiple artists including Greensky Bluegrass and Yonder Mountain String Band
• Takes place at Dreams Sapphire Resort

Planning the trip, step by step

1. 1Book the ticket first: tiers at Strings & Sol are sold in waves and the cheapest wave is gone long before the line-up is complete.
2. 2Then price the travel from Paris — Cinderella compares train, bus, car and flight for the same dates, and the cheapest option is not always the obvious one.
3. 3Reserve 5 nights rather than 4: the last night of a festival almost always ends after the last train home.
4. 4Follow Strings & Sol on Cinderella to be emailed when a ticket price drops or a new tier opens.

Travel tips from Paris
