Medellín’s beloved Arepa Festival returns to Parque de los Deseos for a celebration of Colombia’s most iconic food. Over four days, more than 50 varieties of arepa take center stage — from classic corn to creative flavors like blackberry and cheese — alongside live music, cooking demonstrations, and local artisan vendors.

This is the kind of event The Modern Green was built to highlight: community-driven, culturally rooted, and deeply delicious. Whether you’re a food traveler or a diaspora visitor reconnecting with Colombian culture, the Arepa Festival is an essential Medellín experience.

Dates: May 15–18, 2026
Location: Parque de los Deseos, Medellín, Colombia
