The Festivales Al Parque (Festivals in the Park) program was created to help recover from intense urban violence during the early 1990s. This festival has helped reestablish citizens' sense of ownership over public spaces, strengthened identity and diversity within the community, and drew an audience of more than 600,000 people annually.
Bogotá looks forward to each Festivales Al Parque annual cycle with joy and enthusiasm. Colombia al Parque, Hip Hop al Parque, Jazz al Parque, and Rock Al Parque are four signature events that provide a wide variety of musical experiences for all to enjoy. These popular festivities have become beacons within district policies, where citizens can come together in harmony to relax and recreate. The events, which take place in expansive public parks and open-air spaces throughout the city, emphasize the advancement of a range of musical genres and conditions that enable cultural rights. These Festivals allow citizens with varying social backgrounds, ages, and education levels to come together in park settings and explore various musical expressions.
