Every January, the Manizales Fair is celebrated in my city.

It is known as one of the most important festivals in Colombia, and it is recognized internationally. During the fair, concerts are offered, parades are organized, and bullfights are presented. AI tools were used to create images that represent these cultural experiences.

The fair was created in 1955, inspired by the April Fair of Seville, Spain. Since then, it has been transformed into a celebration that represents both tradition and intercultural exchange. Beauty queens are crowned in the International Coffee Pageant, and visitors from different countries are invited to participate in cultural and artistic events.

This tradition is connected to my identity because I grew up enjoying the parades, the concerts, and the joy of the people. My family always joined the activities, and we felt proud of the cultural heritage that is shared with the world. Through this experience, intercultural understanding is promoted, because people from many countries learn about Colombian traditions and also share their own.

# data[].attributes.body
Every December, the city of Cali is transformed by the Feria de Cali. It is a week where music, dance, and cultural identity are shared with everyone. During these days, different events are organized, like parades, concerts, and salsa competitions. The famous “Salsódromo” is one of the main attractions, where salsa groups from Colombia and other countries perform, and where cultural diversity is expressed through rhythm and movement.

The first Feria was celebrated in 1957, right after the city had lived through hard times. The event was created by the local government, and very soon thousands of tourists were welcomed every year. Colorful costumes and floats were prepared to show the best of Cali’s joyful spirit.

Today, the Feria de Cali is recognized as more than just a local party. It has become a bridge between cultures, because people from all over the world join the celebration. Thanks to this tradition, my identity has been influenced by music, rhythm, and diversity.

In my hometown, Líbano, Tolima, there is a tradition called “Las Fiestas del Retorno.” This celebration is held every four years and it lasts for eight days. This tradition is celebrated in the central park, where parades, horse rides, concerts, and gastronomy are offered. It is a reunion festival, because people who once lived in Líbano come back to share with their community.

During the last celebration, more than one thousand jobs were created and many tourists were attracted to the town. The festival was organized by the local government together with cultural groups. Thanks to this event, the local economy was greatly improved, and people’s cultural identity was strengthened.

The festival is considered one of the most important traditions of the region, and it is expected with great enthusiasm. Personally, it has shaped my identity because it has taught me the value of community, cultural memory, and intercultural exchange. Through it, I learned that traditions are not only enjoyed but also preserved for the future.

Every year in July, the Cúcuta Fair is celebrated. This celebration is one of the most important in Norte de Santander. It is managed by the local government, and activities are organized to promote tourism and culture in the city, offering people local food, concerts, and crafts from our region.

The fair was started in the 1960s to strengthen the cultural roots of this region. Over time, creativity expanded, and new activities were introduced, such as parades, exhibitions, and business events. Many young people and adults apply for temporary jobs during the fair, and their working hours are often long but rewarding. The people who take part in this event see it as an opportunity to show their entrepreneurship or their different artistic skills, such as music, dance, or playing an instrument.

In the past, bullfights were held, but nowadays concerts and gastronomy are promoted instead. For some workers, the fair represents a chance to earn a salary or a wage, while for others it is part of a long profession that can last until retirement. Employers value the event as an opportunity to showcase local talent and culture.
