SUMMARY:Medellín Flower Festival Launches More Than 200 Connected Events Celebrating Colombia's Floral Industry and Culture
DESCRIPTION:Medellín is preparing to host the 2025 Flower Fair\, which will be held from August 1 to 10. This emblematic event\, rooted in the silletero tradition\, will unite citizens and visitors to enjoy more than 200 public and private activities. The city will be adorned with parades and diverse artistic expressions that will exalt the pride of being a paisa and strengthen the sense of belonging in every corner. \nMayor Federico Gutiérrez Zuluaga reaffirms his commitment to the silleteros and silleteras. In this way\, 535 of them will update their wardrobe\, marking a significant change not seen since 2017. This year\, the updated attire includes pants and shirts for men\, skirts and blouses for women\, as well as traditional accessories such as the cotizas\, the paruma\, the apron\, the hat\, and the kerchief. The investment was $336 million USD. \nUnder the slogan “Medellín loves you\, celebrating what we are\,” the program invites attendees to enjoy five major parades. Among them are the 2nd edition of Avenida Primavera and the Classic and Antique Car Parades\, the Chivas and Flores Parades\, and the Heroes of the Nation Parade. For its part\, the iconic Silleteros Parade celebrates its 68th edition this year and will feature 535 silleteros and silleteras marching\, including five children with neurodiversity. \nThe event will take place on Sunday\, August 10\, the day that marks the end of the Flower Festival. Each participant will wear a black ribbon in honor of the victims of the winter storm in the metropolitan area and throughout the country. The district administration will set up 44 grandstands with a total capacity of 22\,000 people per parade\, each with a capacity for 500 attendees. More than 50% of these spaces will be open to the public\, ensuring greater inclusion. \nIn addition\, a special space with capacity for 50 people with reduced mobility will once again be available. The remaining grandstands will be marketed by the bureau to flower fair sponsors and tour operators. During the 10 days\, musical stages will return with artistic programming in each of the 16 communes and five districts\, a way to decentralize this event. These spaces are expected to have an approximate audience of between 10\,000 and 40\,000 attendees per stage. On the other hand\, the inaugural concert will take place on Friday\, August 1st\, in the Obelisco area\, with renowned artists who will be adding to the evening’s musical program\, such as Jorge Celedón\, Fernando González\, and Jessi Uribe\, among others. \nAlso\, the Parque Cultural Nocturno (Night Cultural Park) in Plaza Gardel will feature a program of high-level performances. Each night will be filled with Colombian\, Afro-Colombian\, and bolero music\, as well as a very special moment to pay tribute to the 50th anniversary of the Combo de las Estrellas. In addition\, the Medellín National Trova Festival is now in its 19th year and will have its semifinals on August 1st and 2nd\, in Parque de los Deseos. \nThe grand finale to select the King or Queen of Trova will be on Friday\, August 8th\, in Plaza Gardel. Other notable activities include: the Silleteritos Parade and Sancocho Festival in Santa Elena; the Silleteritos Parade in La Floresta; the Fair to the Rhythm of a Bike Parade; the Dog and Pet Walk; Flower Plazas; Fondas de Mi Tierra (My Land Feasts) at Juan Pablo II Airport; and Florecer: Orchids\, Nature\, and Traditions at the Botanical Garden; among other activities. \nFinally\, according to information from Colombian Immigration\, between 55\,000 and 60\,000 international passengers are expected to arrive during the 2025 Flower Fair\, of which at least 55% will be foreign visitors and non-resident Colombians.\nTerminales Medellín estimates that land transportation passenger arrivals will range between 250\,000 and 260\,000. Furthermore\, according to Cotelco\, hotel occupancy could be between 77.0% and 81.0%\, with an upward trend. \nThe schedule can be found at https://www.feriadelasfloresmedellin.gov.co/ or on the @cultura.med social media channels.
