Feria de Cali – Rhythm, Tradition and the Joy of Life in the Heart of Colombia

Every year, between December 25 and 30, Cali transforms into a vibrant stage filled with music, color, and tradition with the celebration of the Feria de Cali, one of the most important and eagerly awaited cultural events in Colombia and Latin America.

Known worldwide as the Capital of Salsa, Cali opens its doors to national and international travelers seeking an authentic experience full of rhythm, flavor, and warm hospitality.

One of the most iconic events is the Salsódromo, the opening parade in which the city’s best salsa schools showcase their talent in an impressive display of choreography and energy. Concerts, popular street parties, and live performances also stand out, taking place in different parts of the city.

The fair is not only about music, but also about tradition and folklore. Events such as the Classic and Vintage Car Parade, the Cali Viejo Parade, and cultural comparsas allow visitors to discover the history, creativity, and pride of the people of Cali.

Each parade is an opportunity for locals and visitors alike to connect with the cultural roots of the Valle del Cauca.

During the Feria de Cali, gastronomy plays a fundamental role. Typical dishes such as sancocho de gallina, empanadas vallunas, pandebono, and cholado are an essential part of the experience.

In addition, the city offers a wide variety of restaurants and gastronomic experiences that perfectly complement the festive days.

Enjoying the Feria de Cali is also the perfect excuse to explore the region’s main attractions:

• The Bulevar del Río

• El Cristo Rey

• San Antonio and its colonial charm

• Nature experiences in the surroundings of the Valle del Cauca

The warmth of its people, the pleasant climate, and the city’s vibrant energy make many travelers want to return again and again.
