About this Event
Dia de las Velitas
Come join us for a magical evening celebrating Dia de las Velitas at 24 "McLachlan Street". This traditional Colombian event marks the beginning of the holiday season with the lighting of candles and fireworks. It's a time for family, friends, and delicious food. Let's gather together to honor this beautiful tradition and kick off the festive spirit!
On the night of December 7, Colombia’s windows, balconies, and sidewalks come alive in one of the country’s neatest traditions.
It is the Dia de las Velitas, literally the Little Candles Day in English. On the night of December 7, Colombians all around the country light candles in honor of the Virgin Mary and her Immaculate Conception symbolising personal wishes and gratitude. It is one of the neatest Colombian Christmas traditions.
To keep this tradition alive, we are inviting you and your family to join us on Saturday 7 December to celebrate Dia de las Velitas!
Bring your candle and a wish!
