Colombia’s national holidays, known as “festivos,” are significant cultural and religious observances celebrated throughout the year. These holidays provide opportunities for Colombians to commemorate their history, honor their traditions, and come together as a community.
The 2025 festivos calendar includes several important holidays, including New Year’s Day, Epiphany, Labor Day, Independence Day, and Christmas. Each holiday has its own unique traditions and celebrations, ranging from parades and fireworks to religious services and family gatherings. Festivos play a vital role in preserving Colombia’s cultural heritage and fostering a sense of national unity.
