The Leticia Festival (Festival de Leticia), known as Leticia's birthday, is a celebration that commemorates the founding of this city located in the heart of the Colombian Amazon.
Every year, on April 25, the city is filled with joy and activities to celebrate its anniversary.
The celebration includes parades, religious ceremonies, sports competitions, and a variety of cultural events that reflect the rich multicultural heritage of the Amazon region.
One of the most anticipated events is the comparsas parade, where participants dress in traditional costumes and dance to the rhythm of native music, showing the ethnic and cultural diversity of the region.
The festival also stands out for the traditional dawn, which marks the beginning of the festivities, and the election of the festival queen.
During the day, typical dance presentations take place and you can enjoy craft and gastronomic samples that highlight local customs and traditions.
Additionally, the festival offers a unique opportunity to explore the biodiversity of the Amazon, with ecotourism activities that allow visitors to learn more about the flora and fauna of this unique region.
The Leticia Festival not only celebrates the city's anniversary, but also promotes the conservation of Amazonian culture and nature.
