Won't be there but I strongly recommend taking part in Noche de las velitas (Night of the little candles), taking place each Dec 7th. You will see the locals busy all day cleaning (washing) the streets across different neighbourhoods in preparation the main event. In the evening candle are places along streets and in windows to light the path for the Virgin Mary ahead of the Feast of the Immaculate Conception on Dec 8th (national holiday). In Medellín, the main rio de Medellín will be lit up as this begins the start of the annual allumbrados holiday light display. This evening marks the (unofficial) start of the Christmas holiday season in Colombia. Tons of people will be out walking and it is traditional to invite friends and family over for a late dinner. https://sinitinerario.com/dia-de-velitas-en-colombia/ Quote
