SEMA Fest 2023: A Wild Ride

Author Jordan Linder
Even with a slight dim, the excitement for SEMA FEST was fully lit!

SEMA Fest 2023 was a blast from start to finish! On November 3rd, fans rocked out to the iconic bands Bush, Third Eye Blind and Incubus. The air buzzed with excitement as Incubus took the stage at 10 p.m., thrilling everyone with their hits. The next day, Imagine Dragons lit up the night. Their performance was the crown jewel of the festival. The crowd sang along to every song, making memories that would last a lifetime.

Thrills On Wheels

But SEMA Fest wasn’t just about the music. Fans got their adrenaline pumping with shows from Formula Drift, Hooligan, and Nitro Circus. These pros showed off their daring stunts, leaving the crowd cheering for more. Nitro Circus wowed everyone with both FMX and BMX tricks. Also, surprise guest Aaron “Wheelz” Fotheringham showed up to attempt some gnarly flips in his custom built wheelchair.

Everywhere you looked, there were cars with dazzling paint jobs and lights. The sounds of big speakers filled the air, and you could feel the bass in your chest. Car lovers were in heaven, showing off their rides and checking out the latest trends.

Food, Shops, And More

Hungry? Thirsty? SEMA Fest had it covered with a variety of vendors. You could grab a bite, shop for gear, and stay hydrated at any of the free water stations. Everything was easy to find and enjoy.

No Wait Times, But Long Walks

Even with the big crowds, you didn’t have to wait in line for the bathrooms. It was in and out, so you didn’t miss a beat of the festival fun. The festival was huge, with lots to see and do. A good pair of shoes was key to exploring everything SEMA Fest had to offer.

SEMA Fest 2023 was an unforgettable weekend filled with music, cars, and non-stop action!
