Cultural and culinary festivals in Mexico and Colombia

Overview

Various cultural and culinary festivals have been announced for Mexico and Colombia throughout late 2026.

In August, Mexico scheduled SimiFest 2026 for December, featuring artists such as Snoop Dogg and Miguel. Concurrently, a strategic alliance involving Spotify and the Mexican Ministry of Culture was formed to support the ‘México Canta’ competition. In Colombia, Bogotá hosted the 13th International Human Rights Film Festival and the Vallenato al Parque festival, which served as a solidarity center for earthquake relief.

By September, the focus shifted toward regional culinary heritage. Colombia scheduled the Sazón Córdoba event in Montería, featuring Chef José ‘El Chato’ Barbosa. In Mexico, the First Mexiquense Gastronomic Encounter, ‘Saberes y Sabores de mi Tierra,’ was organized in Ocoyoacac to showcase the traditional cooking of various indigenous groups, including the Mazahua, Tlahuica, Matlatzinca, Otomí, and Nahua.
