Colombia al Parque celebrates its 20th anniversary and reveals the lineup of artists.
On May 23 and 24, with free admission, the festival will feature artists from different regions, creating a gathering space for traditional and contemporary Colombian sounds.
There are moments when Bogotá stops feeling like a single city and becomes many cities at once. You only need to walk its streets to hear different accents, discover recipes from every region, find handicrafts that tell ancient stories, or encounter music born thousands of miles away that has found a stage to gather right here.
That’s why, when Colombia al Parque arrives, the city seems to beat to a different rhythm.
Because this is not just a festival, it is one of those gatherings where every part of Colombia feels close. It is a place where the sounds of the Pacific meet those of the Caribbean, where Andean voices dialogue with the roots of the Amazon and Orinoquía, and where Bogotá ultimately becomes that great cultural meeting point capable of embracing the diversity of a whole country.
On May 23 and 24, Parque de los Novios (Lovers’ Park) will once again fill with music, tradition, memories, and emotion for a new edition of this festival, which, since 2004, has established itself as one of the capital's most important cultural events. And perhaps, that is part of its magic.
Because Colombia al Parque was created with the idea of opening a space to recognize traditional music and the country’s new sonic fusions but over the years, it has also evolved into a place to reconnect with the roots, stories, and cultural identity that thrive within each Colombian territory.
For over two decades, the festival has allowed thousands of people to experience the musical wealth of Colombia in a single location, and it all takes place on one of Bogotá’s most special stages: Parque de los Novios. During these days, this park transforms into a massive open-air cultural celebration—one where music blends with conversations, spontaneous dancing, traditional gastronomy, and encounters that make the entire experience feel welcoming, warm, and deeply Colombian.
Here, Caribbean traditions, Pacific chants, Andean strings, Llanero sounds, and musical expressions born in every corner of the country coexist, proving how Bogotá bridges cultures and memories through art.
The 2026 edition will feature a special focus on cantoras (women singers) and memory, highlighting the vital role of women and the voices that have preserved Colombia’s oral and musical traditions. It is a tribute to those who have kept the stories of their territories alive through song and the spoken word.
With free admission and a cultural program that brings together music, tradition, nature, and diversity, Colombia al Parque has become one of the most beloved festivals for those seeking to experience Bogotá through an authentic experience and deeply connected to the country’s identity.
Because there are festivals that you listen to. Others that you dance to. But there are some, like Colombia al Parque, that manage to remind an entire city that Colombia can also be felt in a song, in a drumbeat, and in a park filled with shared stories.
