Alumbrados Envigado 2020: Photos of Christmas Lights in Envigado

Alumbrados Envigado 2020 – Envigado, located south of Medellín, was the first municipality in the Aburrá Valley to turn on its Christmas lights on Nov. 18.

Envigado is  the first municipality in the Aburrá Valley to illuminate its streets and parks in order to restore illusion and hope to the inhabitants of Envigado and visitors, in a year as atypical as this one with the coronavirus pandemic in Colombia.

The streets and parks of Envigado are now illuminated with many figures such as: soldiers, cars, trains, ducks, bears and toy horses, as well as Santa Claus, reindeer, elves, Christmas letters and Christmas bows.

Editors note: according to El Colombiano, Envigado will not turn off its Christmas lights in its main park, unlike Medellín, which turned off its Christmas lights until January 3 to prevent the spread of coronavirus.

However, you won’t be able to see the lights on December 25 and January 1 due to the 24 hour curfews on these days. The Christmas lights in Envigado can be seen until January 9, from 6:30 pm to midnight.

Also, Bello has not turned off the Bello Christmas lights in its main park. In addition, we have photos of the Christmas lights in the Aburra Valley in all nine municipalities with lights.

The Bottom Line: Alumbrados Envigado 2020

Envigado is the first municipality in the Aburrá Valley to turn on its Christmas lights in 2020. I was impressed by the 2020 Christmas lights in Parque Envigado, which I thought were better than last year.

Locals from around Medellín come to Parque Envigado, particularly during the Christmas holidays.

The date when Medellín will turn on its Christmas lights for 2020 is on December 5, we have a separate guide to the 2020 Medellín Christmas lights. The main Christmas lights in 2020 for Medellín will be in Parque Norte and in Parques Del Rio, like last year.

The bottom line is that Parque Envigado is a popular park. And during the Christmas season in 2020 with its nice Christmas lights display this year and being the first to turn on its Christmas lights in the Aburrá Valley, we expect this park in Envigado will be very popular with many people each weekend.

Also, we have photos of Christmas lights in 2019 from all 10 municipalities in the Aburrá Valley.
