Medellín's Christmas lights
Medellín's Christmas lights are famous around the world. Every year, millions of lights decorate the city's streets, rivers, and parks with spectacular designs that amaze children and adults alike. Strolling through the lights is a must-do activity to immerse yourself in the magic of December.
Novenas and family celebrations
In December, Medellín vibrates with the tradition of the novena de aguinaldos, where families and friends gather to pray, sing carols, and share buñuelos, natilla, and other typical flavors. As a visitor, it is a unique opportunity to experience the closeness and warmth of the paisas.
Parades and events
In addition to the Flower Fair in August, Medellín celebrates parades and cultural events in December that light up the city. From concerts and artistic performances in public spaces to special activities in the towns near the Aburrá Valley, the end-of-year program offers something for everyone.
