Bogotá's Weekend Guide: Markets, Performances, and Exhibits Across City — AI illustration

More than 40 listed events open in Bogotá this weekend, with the largest cluster centered on La Candelaria and Chapinero.

July temperatures hover near 18 degrees Celsius, drawing residents outdoors after weeks of indoor-focused programming tied to recent school holidays.

The Teatro Colón on Calle 10 schedules two evening jazz sets on Saturday, while the weekly flea market at Usaquén’s Plaza de Usaquén opens at 9 a.m. Sunday with more than 120 stalls.

Performing Arts and Exhibits

Organizers at the Museo Nacional report extended hours through Sunday for the current photography display on 20th-century street life, with last entry at 5 p.m. each day. A separate children’s workshop at the same site runs from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday and costs 12,000 Colombian pesos per child.

Across town, the Teatro Jorge Eliécer Gaitán on Carrera 7 lists a one-night dance performance on Saturday at 8 p.m., with tickets priced from 25,000 to 45,000 pesos.

Markets and Outdoor Plans

Street-food vendors return to Parque 93 on Sunday afternoon under a city permit that caps attendance at 3,000 people. Local data from the Secretaría de Cultura show 18,500 visitors attended the same market series in June.

Residents planning to attend should check the Secretaría de Cultura website or call venue box offices by Friday afternoon for any capacity updates before heading out.
