The Cultural Folk Festival and Reign of the Sea is a prominent event held in honor of San Juan Bautista. This festivity takes place in the town, and is characterized by the participation of pelayeras wind bands and local and regional folk music groups. These artists contribute their musical talent to brighten up the festivity, interpreting traditional melodies to the rhythm of drums, whistles and bagpipes.
During the festival, various activities are carried out that highlight the cultural richness of the region. Traditional dances such as the fandango and the bullerengue are protagonists, and the dance groups shine with their choreographies full of energy and rhythm. The vibrant sounds of drums and native instruments create a lively and festive atmosphere that invites the participation of all attendees.
In addition, one of the most anticipated moments of the festival is the reign of the Caribbean woman. In this contest, the skill and grace of the dance participants, who represent the beauty and charm of Caribbean culture, are evaluated. It is a space where tradition is exalted and the talent of the women of the region is recognized.
The Reinado del Mar and Cultural Folklore Festival is held annually in June, attracting visitors from different places interested in enjoying the music, dance and culture of the Colombian Caribbean. It is a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the traditions and artistic expressions of the area, and live an experience full of colour, joy and folklore.
