Bogotá opens its July community events calendar with markets and free workshops that begin Sunday at multiple fixed locations across the city.

July brings steady foot traffic to public spaces as families fill time between school terms and office routines. City agencies have coordinated the listings so residents can plan around work and transit on Carrera 7 and Avenida 19 without overlapping major road closures.

Two longstanding venues anchor the listings. The Centro Cultural Gabriel García Márquez in La Candelaria hosts daily craft sessions and a Saturday book exchange. The Parque de la 93 in Chapinero schedules evening film screenings on its central lawn every Thursday starting July 16.

Neighborhood listings

Additional stops include the Usaquén Sunday market along Carrera 15 between Calles 116 and 120, where vendors set up from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., and the Plaza de Usaquén itself, which adds live music on July 19. Organizers at IDARTES report 87 registered community activities this month, up from 64 in July 2025. Entry to most workshops costs 15,000 Colombian pesos, while the larger markets remain free.

Participants can register online through the Secretaría de Cultura portal or at the venue box offices the day before each event. Schedules list start times and any required materials so families arrive prepared.
