Fiesta del Libro y la Cultura 2026

Medellín's book and culture festival turns 20 with ten days of talks, concerts, exhibitions, workshops, film and guided walks spread across the Botanical Garden and Parque Explora. This year's theme is "Las travesías de la lectura" and the guest country of honour is South Korea. Entry is free and the grounds are pleasant to wander even if you don't read Spanish — it doubles as one of the city's best open-air weekends.
