Major events this summer.

Does any one know of anything major that's going on this summer in Colombia? Any thing that would draw large crowds of people? i.e. catholic parades, festivals, soccer games, protest ect....

thanx

Feria de Tulua is one of my faves (http://www.feriadetulua.com.co/)
You'll be in the country for the footy finals, most likely going to be played in Cali and Medellin
and Fiestas del Mar in Santa Marta is something I want to go to but haven't had the opportunity

Colombiamoda can be described as a huge fashion show in Medellin. Here's last years link on La Feria de las Flores http://www.feriadelasfloresmedellin.gov.co/ (haven't seen the 2008 link).

You'll always find some kind of festival/feria in Colombia each month. If they don't have one, they'll find a reason to make one up. You'll be aight finding them. =D

I'm looking forward to the Bogota cold. It is already approaching Africa hot here in Houston. The last several times I've been in Colombia over the last six months has been to "Tierra Caliente" and the coast so it will be a nice change. Aside from a few days in December and connections to other cities in Colombia, I haven't spent much time in Bogota lately.

Plus, unlike most Colombians you probably don't thint it'll be that cold anyway. So you'll enjoy it even more. I sure love the weather down there every time I go.
