Colombia Amor y Amistad celebrations

Overview

Colombia is observing the Month of Love and Friendship (Amor y Amistad) throughout September, with the primary celebration scheduled for the third Saturday of the month.

Linguistic shifts have been noted during this period, as English loanwords increasingly influence how Colombians describe social and romantic connections. Terms such as ‘crush’, ‘match’, ‘ghosting’, ‘red flags’, and ‘green flags’ are being used to describe various relationship dynamics.

The hospitality and tourism sectors have responded with special programming to mark the occasion. Major hotel chains, including Hilton and Hoteles Estelar, are hosting events in cities such as Bogotá, Cartagena, Santa Marta, and Barranquilla. These activities include gastronomic events, spa treatments, and seaside dinners designed for couples, friends, and families.
