Prior to the Baja Beach Fest in Rosarito, local merchants in the Barbachano district expressed concerns regarding street closures. Business owners requested that municipal authorities maintain at least one road open to the beach to ensure customers could reach cafés, bars, and shops, noting that “Cada año a nosotros nos afecta, porque cierran el acceso a las calles de la Barbachano y los clientes no pueden llegar a nuestros negocios.”

Following the conclusion of the festival, reports indicated significant economic benefits for the region. The event attracted approximately 25,000 daily attendees and drove hotel occupancy to an average of 97%. The lodging sector alone saw an estimated economic impact of 72 million pesos. 

Security officials reported a “saldo blanco” (no major crimes), noting that while 35 individuals were detained for minor administrative infractions, coordinated efforts between federal, state, and municipal agencies prevented high-impact crimes during the event.
