The city of Bogotá will hold two major free cultural festivals in early June 2026. The Festival Popular al Parque takes place on 6–7 June in the Simón Bolívar Metropolitan Park, featuring regional Colombian music such as norteña, ranchera and carranga, along with local entrepreneurship zones and free entry for those over 18.

The Festival Afro de Santa Fe is scheduled for 5–6 June at the Terraza Pasteur shopping centre on Carrera 7, showcasing Afro‑Colombian music, dance, gastronomy and creative enterprises.
