Imagine Carnival with threads of religion woven in and you’ll have Quibdo’s Fiestas de San Pacho. Starting at the end of September and running until early October, this festival is a unique blend of religious expression, historical reference and social commentary. Though the festival still honours Saint Francis, the patron saint of Quibdo, with his likeness being paraded down the street, the festival also illustrates the long history of the area and its roots: you’ll hear African music and see traditional garb as the revellers dance through the streets. It's a feast of colour and flavour that you won't find elsewhere.

If you’re looking to experience the best season in Bogota—while enjoying plenty of free activities—then visit in August for beautiful weather and the Bogota Summer Festival. Based mainly in Parque Simon Bolivar, the summer festival focuses on getting people outdoors and opportunities range from attending professional competitions like boxing tournaments and taekwondo competitions to participating in local activities such as rock climbing, Zumba and Pilates. Be sure to take a kite (kite flying is extremely popular) or take part in the Night Bike Ride.

Bypass Rio, the best Carnaval is in Barranquilla. Beginning on the Saturday before Ash Wednesday, Carnaval de Barranquilla is the largest celebration in Colombia and one of the largest carnavals (religious festivals) in the world. Featuring live music, tons of dancing and an immense parade full of masked revellers, Barranquilla’s Carnaval shuts down the city for four unforgettable days. The festivities start with La Batalla de Flores (the Battle of the Flowers), a parade of elaborate floats, and continue with more days of dancing, costumes and celebrations.
You can tell this 4 day part means something to the locals. They give themselves over to it with all their hearts. And they are welcoming of people who journey to their city, which for the rest of the year is overlooked. But for 4 days there is a buzz about the place that goes all day and all night. The parades go on for hours. But they are free. You can pay about 20,000 pesos for a place to sit to watch it. And they sell beer for about 3,000 pesos, food for about 4,000 and the use of their banos about 1,000. Enjoy yourself. Sure some people will be dumping corn startch on you. Buy your own bag for 1,000 pesos and throw some back. It's all in fun. And that is just the day. At night, whole neighbourhoods open up their doors, poor onto the streets and dance the night away. You don't know where these parties are going to pop up. Just walk the streets listening to the sounds of distant sound systems and follow the beat. You won't be disappointed by what you find.
