In the young municipality of Puerto Triunfo in Magdalena Medio Antioquia, known mainly for being the place where Pablo Escobar's famous Hacienda Nápoles was located, the Lemon and Sympathy Festivals (Fiestas del Limón y La Simpatía) are celebrated every year, one of the main festivities of the calendar in the municipality. The festivals offer a varied cultural and recreational program.
There are sports competitions, beauty pageants, and live music performances that include genres such as tropical music, vallenato, and local bands.
Furthermore, with the aim of revitalizing the local economy, the holidays are used to open a space for local farmers, artisans and cooks to display and sell their products.
During these days, the main square of Puerto Triunfo is the perfect place to enjoy empanadas, arepas, typical Antioquia sausages and local products such as banana, yucca or papaya.
The Lemon and Sympathy Festivals promote social cohesion and tourism in Puerto Triunfo.
This event has established itself as an emblematic celebration in the Magdalena Medio region, highlighting the identity and welcoming spirit of its people.
