Medellín · [EVENT DATES]
One hemisphere.
One table.
Where the mountains cradle an eternal spring, a hundred kitchens light their fires.
The best restaurants of North, Central, and South America — side by side for one weekend in the city of eternal spring. 50–100 booths of food, craft, music, and everything in between.
What’s on
A festival the size of a continent — two, actually
Every booth is a border crossing. Come hungry, leave with a favorite country you’ve never visited.
The Kitchens
50–100 booths from the best restaurants representing cuisines across North, Central, and South America — ceviche to smoked brisket, arepas to poutine.
Live Music & Dance
Cumbia, salsa, reggaetón, folk, and jazz across named festival stages, running from gates-open to last call.
Mercado de las Américas
Artisan and craft vendors — fashion, textiles, jewelry, art — from across the hemisphere, alongside the food.
Chef Moments
Demos, tastings, and collaborations that put two countries on one plate.
Familia-Friendly
Daytime programming for all ages; the fiesta turns up as the sun goes down.
Medellín Social Launch

Good to know
Questions, answered
When and where is the festival?
[EVENT DATES] at [VENUE], Medellín. Gates and hours will be published with the box office launch.
Is food included in the ticket?
No — your ticket is festival entry. Food and drink are bought booth by booth, so you can build your own route through the hemisphere. Most dishes are priced for sampling widely.
What does VIP add?
Express entry, a shaded lounge with a private bar, and a welcome tasting — for $50/day. If you’re coming with a group on a hot afternoon, the lounge earns its keep.
Can kids come?
Yes — the festival is all ages during the day, and kids under 10 enter free with a ticketed adult. Evening programming leans adult.
What payment methods work at booths?
Vendors accept cash and cards; details will be confirmed closer to the event.
I run a restaurant / brand — how do I join?
Restaurants and artisans: see the vendor page. Brands and partners: see sponsorship. Both have application forms — the team replies within a few business days.
Taste the north. Savor the south.
Dance with everything in between. One weekend, one city, one table.
