The whole valley lights up for Christmas, river to hillside
Go smartFree seasonal christmas free family night
Each December EPM's Christmas lights transform Medellín, with more than 25,000 illuminated figures at dozens of points along the river and in every comuna. The 2025–26 season lit up on November 28 at Parques del Río and ran nightly from 6 pm to midnight until January 12, 2026.
Why we love it
- Evening stroll along Parques del Río
- See neighborhood displays across the city
- Ride the Metro between light displays
Enjoy it safely
Crowded evenings mean pickpockets: keep valuables minimal, stay with your group, and use the Metro or an app ride home.
