Viva Colombia Fest 2025
Saturday 19 July | 4pm - 9pm
Viva Colombia Fest 2025 will be the Northern Territory’s first large-scale Colombian cultural festival—an immersive, community-led celebration of Colombia’s Independence Day.
Set against the vibrant backdrop of the Darwin Waterfront, the festival will showcase the rich traditions, music, dance, flavours, and spirit of Colombia. More than just a celebration, Viva Colombia Fest “Mi Casa, Tu Casa” is a cultural journey—a space where ancestral rhythms meet modern expressions, and where food, art, and storytelling become tools for connection, reflection, and pride.
The festival invites the NT community to experience Colombia’s past, present, and future through bold performances, traditional cuisine, and dynamic cultural programming that honours the diversity, resilience, and joy of the Colombian people.
