Cali Christmas Lights 2026

Tentative date. In 2024 they went on December 6 and in 2025 on December 7; the city government's June calendar listed December 7 to 31.

  • December 7 to 31, 2026 (tentative)
  • Bulevar del Río and Plaza de Cayzedo (2025 route)

The city government's official calendar has the lights running December 7 to 31 in several parts of the city. Diario Occidente reports they go on December 7 at 7:00 p.m., spread over more than eight spots, and says they might stay up until January 6.

It's free, and you walk it at night. December in Cali is high season because of the Feria, so if you're coming to see the lights and to dance, book ahead.
