Bogotá opens its community events calendar this week with markets and workshops scheduled in at least eight neighborhoods starting July 13.

Local groups organize these gatherings each July when school holidays increase demand for nearby activities that cost little and require no long trips across the city.

The flea market on Carrera 7 in Chapinero runs every Saturday between Calles 53 and 55 with vendors offering produce and crafts. In La Candelaria the Centro Cultural Gabriel García Márquez on Calle 11 hosts free printmaking sessions on Wednesdays at 3 p.m. for adults and children.

Markets and cleanups

Usaquén plaza on Calle 116 hosts its regular Sunday market from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. where coffee growers sell bags priced from 8,000 pesos. A separate group coordinates a river cleanup along the Juan Amarillo wetland in Suba on Friday morning with volunteers meeting at the entrance near Avenida Boyacá.

City records show 38,000 people joined similar events during June 2026, a 19 percent rise from the same month last year.

Workshops and talks

Most sessions carry entry fees of 12,000 pesos or less. The Biblioteca Luis Ángel Arango in the historic center adds evening talks on local history every Thursday at 7 p.m. through the end of the month.

Residents can confirm times on the IDARTES website or by stopping at the listed venues before the weekend.
