Medellín announces road closures for Feria de las Flores 2026
The Medellín city government announced a series of road closures to accommodate the Feria de las Flores 2026 cultural festival. Closures will be in effect from Friday 31 July through Wednesday 5 August, affecting major corridors such as Avenida Colombia, Avenida Regional, La Floresta, El Poblado, Astorga, Laureles, and several other streets.
The mobility plan includes the closure of Carrera 74 (Avenida Colombia) for the inaugural concert on 31 July, as well as additional restrictions for parades, child‑friendly events, bike‑friendly routes, and other festival activities. The Secretaría de Movilidad urged residents and visitors to plan their trips in advance and use alternate routes to minimise disruption.
These measures aim to ensure the safety of the thousands of attendees, facilitate event logistics, and limit the impact on everyday traffic during the festival period.
