The leaves are starting to fall and it's getting colder and colder. While that means shows are moving indoors for the season here in the US, that's not the case south of the border.

These days, there's a whole other festival season as live music lovers flock to places like Mexico, Jamaica, and Costa Rica for multi-day events. If dancing with your toes in the sand sounds like a good escape this winter, read on for a look at the Top Destination Festivals for this season.

Fans can buy, sell, and trade their full travel packages or spots in a room for all of these festivals on CashorTrade for face value. Who knows - you might make a lifelong friend by grabbing an open spot in a room!

Phish Riviera Maya

"How is it I never see, the waves that bring her words to me? For though unseen they drift around, they catch my breath and knock me down." Get ready for lots of lyrical references to waves, the ocean, and sand, because it's time once again for Phish Riviera Maya!

This year it's going down from February 21-24, once again at the Moon Palace. Start your day on the beach, then hit the pool party where a DJ might be spinning songs Phish covers. How about a fancy dinner and maybe even a massage before the show? Yeah - this is the good life!

There are some packages available on CashorTrade and we're already seeing some great discounts, so check out the options and come join the fun.

Panic en la Playa

Last but certainly not least is Panic en la Playa from April 14-18. You've got four nights of Widespread Panic on tap and the all-inclusive treatment at the Hard Rock Hotel. Ain't life grand?

This year WSMFP is bringing Trouble No More, Kitchen Dwellers, the Main Squeeze, and Daniel Donato's Cosmic Country along for the ride. There will also be a special set from the Playa All-Stars, which should be a great time. This event is sold out, but you can find a spot from another fan on CashorTrade.

Dave & Tim Riviera Maya

Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds return to the Riviera Maya from February 15-18 at the Moon Palace. The dynamic duo of guitarists will play multiple sets over the weekend as usual, so you can expect plenty of DMB tunes.

They are bringing a spectacular lineup with them this year, as Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit, Mavis Staples, and the Lone Bellow join the fun. Speaking of Trey... will he make a surprise appearance again? Only time will tell. If you've got an extra spot or need to sell your room, put it up on CashorTrade for another fan to snag at face value.
