Each Christmas Cali enjoys the rich festival programme of one of Colombia's most renowned national events, the Cali Fair (Feria de Cali). Get your dancing shoes on for parties, parades, music concerts and beauty pageants in Colombia's salsa capital.
Unlike the many large Latin American city fairs which concentrate on livestock, Cali Fair focuses on parties and parades. Catch the traditional parade as well as the 50 or so salsa acts that perform day and night. The all-important beauty pageant selects Señorita Cali every year and there are sports competitions, arts and crafts exhibitions and salsa and tango contests. Spice up your Christmas with the heat and swing of a real Colombian rumba!
Bullfighting is also a big part of the festival programme, so if you find such spectacles unpleasant, it's probably best to avoid the bullring and immerse yourself in the parties instead.
