TOURISM & EVENTS CALENDAR
This
calendar will make your vacation planning easier. It includes
all festivities, holidays and major events that take place in
Cartagena. Days in red are official holidays. Days in blue are
events that take place in Cartagena.
High
Season (blue squares): December 15th - January 15th,
Holy Week (Easter Holy Day), June 20th.-.July 20th.
Low Season: rest of the year (exceptions are
noted on the calendar).
We suggest
that international travelers consider dates during the low season
to obtain the best hotel rates and encounter fewer crowds.
- Holidays
in Colombia are FIXED: They are the same calendar day, each
year. For example: July 20 is Colombia's Independence from Spain,
Christmas Day is December 25, and New Years Day is Jan. 1.
- Mobile Emiliani Law: these holidays are moved to the
next Monday to enhance free time. For Example: Columbus Day October
12th. falls on Sunday, so the next day, Monday the 13th. is a
no work day.
