Colombia’s Independence Day is more than just a date — it’s a celebration of a country full of life, rhythm, resilience, and flavor. And this July, Vancouver becomes Colombia for one unforgettable week.
From July 15 to 20, join us for a cultural takeover with music, dance, food, and community as we honor Colombia’s vibrant traditions, its unstoppable energy, and the joy that unites Colombians all over the world.
Colombia is known for its passion, warmth, and joy. No matter where we go, Colombians carry that spirit with them — in the way we dance, sing, cook, and gather.
That’s why celebrating our independence far from home is so important. It’s a reminder of where we come from, a tribute to our roots, and a chance to bring our culture to the world.
In Vancouver, we’re building that community through the power of Latin music, traditional flavors, and unforgettable parties that bring everyone together.
We’ve created six unique events in the heart of Vancouver to represent everything we love about Colombia — from salsa and vallenato to reggaeton and traditional food.
Each event celebrates a different side of Colombian culture. Choose your favorite or join us for the full week of festivities!

We all know that feeling: a stressful day, your mind buzzing with a million thoughts, and then, out of nowhere, a catchy Latin beat starts playing. Suddenly, you can’t help but move. Whether it’s the irresistible rhythm of salsa, the smooth flow of bachata, or the upbeat energy of reggaeton, Latin music has a magical way of making us feel good.
