📚 History & Interesting Facts:

The Carriel Festivals are one of the most emblematic and deeply rooted celebrations in the municipality of Envigado, Antioquia. Its origins date back to the 1970s, arising from the need to recognize and honor the cultural and artisanal wealth of the region, with the carriel as the central symbol. This object, more than just a simple bag, is an icon of Antioquian identity, filled with history, tradition, and the cunning nature of the paisa culture.

Among the most representative activities are the Silletera Exhibition, the traditional Mejor Morcilla Contest and Best Envigadeña Empanada, the Antique Motorcycle Parade, Porro in the Park, Electro Rock, Urban Fest, and a varied cultural and artistic program for the whole family.
