Every year, the Viña Festival - also known as the Viña del Mar International Song Festival - takes place over the last week in February in the Quinta Vergara Amphitheater in Viña del Mar. Since its inception on February 21, 1960, this renowned music festival has garnered worldwide attention. Sixty festivals later, it is still celebrated annually and is now a beloved Chilean tradition.
Without a doubt, this spectacular festival is a major force on both the continent and around the world. Not to mention that millions from all parts of the globe flock in order to witness what makes Latin America's most prominent musical event so unforgettable! It's no surprise that it has earned its prestigious reputation due to its sheer magnitude, value, and excellence!
While the popular and folk music competitions were where it all began, for many years, they have taken a back seat to the truly remarkable invited artists who are now at the center stage of this celebrated contest.
Quinta Vergara Amphitheater has witnessed a plethora of musical talent across all genres - from esteemed classical musicians such as Plácido Domingo to popular artists like Daddy Yankee and Juan Luis Guerra. Never failing to leave the audiences in awe, The Police, Miguel Bosé, Raffaella Carrá, and KC & The Sunshine Band have all performed at this iconic venue with their captivating performances.
