From carnivals and book fairs to flower festivals and street parties, there is something for everyone, no matter what time of year you visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>To help travelers plan their vacation around Colombia&#8217;s main celebrations, here\u2019s a round-up of the unmissable events from across the country including what to expect, when they&#8217;re happening, and how to make the most of your time there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cnn-heading\"><h2 id=\"dance-at-the-carnaval-del-diablo\" class=\"wp-block-cnn-heading__heading\">Dance at The Carnaval del Diablo\u00a0<\/h2><div class=\"wp-block-cnn-heading__content\"><p>Planning to travel to Colombia during an odd-numbered year? Then make sure the Carnaval del Diablo (translated to English, Festival of the Devil) is on your to-do list. This biennial party starts on January 6 and carries on through January 12, so makes for a good celebration in the post-festive holiday slump. The aim of the celebration is to ward off sadness and is considered one of the most traditional events in Colombia.&nbsp;<\/p><p>The festival takes place in Riosucio, a town in the department of Caldas, known for its caves and caverns. Locals and visitors, especially the children, dress up like the devil, dance to traditional music, feast together and read poetry. There&#8217;s also sugar cane liquor to sweeten the deal. On the last day of the festival, people watch the burning of a giant devil effigy after it parades through the streets, to signify new beginnings.<\/p><p>As the Carnaval del Diablo is a busy time of year for the town, it\u2019s recommended to book accommodation well in advance to avoid disappointment.&nbsp;<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-white-color has-text-color has-background\" style=\"background-color:#000080\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-cnn-heading\"><h2 id=\"carnival-of-barranquilla\" class=\"wp-block-cnn-heading__heading\"><strong>Carnival of Barranquilla<\/strong><\/h2><div class=\"wp-block-cnn-heading__content\"><p>As far as carnivals go, Barranquilla is one of the best in the world.

And with an official slogan of \u201cThose who live it are those who enjoy it\u201d, visitors know they\u2019re going to be in for a once in a lifetime experience.<\/p><p>This is a celebration of traditional Colombia, with performances that showcase the talent and variety of the various indigenous and ethnic groups of the country, with dazzling costumes and incredible dancing.
