Big Small Hydro - Energy sufficiency, a matter for everyone
2025-09-03 08:00 - 2025-09-04 17:00 | Private: Plaza Mayor, Calle 41 N° 55-80, Medellín, Antioquia, Colombia
BIG Small Hydro is a meeting and discussion space to showcase the importance of SHPPs, as well as the benefits, opportunities, and contributions they bring to the country. The event promotes the positioning of SHPPs in conversations about NCREs.
📚 History & Interesting Facts:
The chain of SHPPs (Small Hydroelectric Power Plants) and run-of-river plants in Colombia represents a fundamental part of the country’s energy matrix, focusing on generating clean energy from water resources. Unlike large dams, SHPPs and run-of-river plants are characterized by diverting a portion of a river’s flow, harnessing its kinetic energy to move turbines, and then returning the water to the riverbed, minimizing environmental impact compared to large-scale reservoirs.
Historically, the development of hydroelectric power in Colombia has been driven by the abundant supply of water resources and the mountainous topography, especially in regions like Antioquia, where many of these facilities are located. SHPPs emerged as an alternative to decentralize generation, meet energy demand in rural or hard-to-reach areas, and complement large power plants.

Parrilla Fest in Mercado del Río
2025-09-06 14:00 - 23:00 | Mercados del Río, Cl. 24 #48-28, Medellín, Antioquia, Colombia
Get ready for a day where the fire is lit, the flavor overflows, and US-sourced meat becomes the undisputed star of the feast. At PARRILLA FEST, premium cuts come together in one place to give your palate an unforgettable, limitless experience. Mercado del Río will become the epicenter of good meat in Medellín. With your passport of flavor, you can choose from exquisite preparations and let yourself be tempted by the juiciness, marbling, and authenticity of proteins imported directly from the United States.
📚 History & Interesting Facts:
In the United States, grilling, or “parrilla” as it’s known in Latin American Spanish, has deep roots and is a quintessential part of the culinary landscape, especially during summer months and holidays like the Fourth of July. American barbecue traditions vary widely by region, encompassing different cuts of meat, cooking methods (smoking, grilling, roasting), and sauces. From the slow-smoked briskets of Texas to the pulled pork of the Carolinas and the grilled steaks of the Midwest, American grilling culture emphasizes both technique and diverse flavor profiles.
This rich tradition has a significant repercussion in Medellín, particularly as the city has embraced international culinary trends and developed a sophisticated food scene. The “Parrilla Fest” in Medellín is a prime example of this influence. While Medellín has its own strong grilling traditions, often featuring local cuts and preparations, events like Parrilla Fest specifically highlight US-sourced meats, celebrating the quality and diversity of American premium cuts. This demonstrates a growing appreciation for and integration of international grilling styles, allowing Medellín residents to experience and enjoy the distinct characteristics (like marbling and juiciness) associated with American beef, thereby broadening the city’s gastronomic offerings.

Milonga is a musical genre and dance form that originated in the Río de la Plata region (Argentina and Uruguay) in the mid-19th century. It is considered a predecessor to tango, sharing many rhythmic and stylistic elements but generally being faster, more playful, and less melancholic than tango. The term “milonga” can refer to the music, the dance, or the social event where people gather to dance milonga and tango.
Historically, milonga evolved from earlier Afro-Argentine and gaucho musical traditions. It often features syncopated rhythms, a lively tempo, and a more improvisational dance style. Famous milonga composers include Sebastián Piana and Aníbal Troilo, who helped formalize the genre and popularize it in urban settings. While tango gained global recognition, milonga remained a cherished part of local culture, maintaining its unique identity and serving as a vital foundation for the development of Argentine tango. Today, milongas are social gatherings worldwide where dancers enjoy both milonga and tango, continuing a rich and vibrant tradition.

El Carnaval de los Animales
2025-09-21 11:00 - 17:00 | Private: Teatro Metropolitano de Medellín, Calle 41 No. 57 - 30, Medellín, Antioquia, 050012, Colombia
La Llave Maestra presents the famous musical suite created by the French composer Camille Saint-Säens in 1886.
5 comedians bring to life 42 animals and 7 characters, who will transport us on a journey to the heart of the wild world, transitioning with versatility and virtuosity between object and puppet animation, physical theater, masks, shadow theater, dance, and clowning.
Conceived as an ode to animal beauty and majesty, THE CARNIVAL OF THE ANIMALS: Ballet of Forms and Objects, is a surprising spectacle; an invitation to contemplate with open senses and let yourself be carried away by music, creativity and visuality.
📚 History & Interesting Facts:
“The Carnival of the Animals” (Le Carnaval des Animaux) is a musical suite by the French composer Camille Saint-Saëns, composed in 1886. It is a humorous musical parody, intended initially by Saint-Saëns purely for private performance among friends and not for public release. He feared that its lighthearted and comical nature would detract from his reputation as a serious composer.
The suite is divided into fourteen movements, each representing a different animal or group of animals, and often incorporates musical jokes and parodies of well-known pieces by other composers, or even of Saint-Saëns’s own work. For example, the “Pianists” movement is a humorous caricature of piano students practicing scales, while “Fossils” quotes “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” and other familiar tunes in a skeletal, xylophone-dominated arrangement.
Ironically, despite Saint-Saëns’s initial reluctance, “The Swan” movement, featuring a cello melody accompanied by two pianos, became one of his most popular and enduring works, often performed as a standalone piece. The complete suite was only published and premiered publicly after Saint-Saëns’s death in 1921, at his explicit request. Since then, it has become one of the most beloved and frequently performed pieces in classical music, especially popular with children and for its clever orchestration and witty musical portrayals.

Teatro en familia: El Principito en Medellín
2025-09-21 11:00 - 17:00 | Private: Teatro Pablo Tobón Uribe, Cra. 40 #51-24, Medellín, Antioquia, Colombia
With choreography by Sandra Mosquera and musical composition by maestro Gustavo Yepes, the theater revisits this wonderful story to reflect on the man of our time, a man who has forgotten how to play and whom we want to invite to be a child again, to fly, to dream, to have fun, to look with the heart.
There, we will see the story of a pilot who suffers an accident in the desert and meets a child, whom he calls the Little Prince and who tells him about all the planets he has visited and the disappointments he has had. This unexpected encounter allows both to achieve what they had never achieved before: to be understood in their vision of the world and of human beings. Through the tenderness and apparent ingenuity of The Little Prince, an apparently childish story is revealed that, in reality, proposes a profound reflection of man on human relationships and life itself.
📚 History & Interesting Facts:
“The Little Prince” (Le Petit Prince) is a novella written and illustrated by French aristocrat, writer, poet, and pioneering aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. It was first published in 1943 in both French and English. The story is a poetic tale, told by a pilot stranded in the desert who meets a young prince fallen from a tiny asteroid. Through their conversations, the novella explores profound themes of loneliness, friendship, love, and loss.
Despite its deceptively simple, childlike narrative and illustrations, “The Little Prince” is a deeply philosophical work that critiques the absurdities of the adult world and celebrates the innocence, imagination, and wisdom of childhood. It has been translated into over 300 languages and dialects, making it one of the most translated books in history, and has sold over 140 million copies worldwide, cementing its status as one of the best-selling books ever published. Its enduring popularity stems from its timeless message about the importance of seeing with the heart rather than just with the eyes, and its poignant reflections on what truly matters in life.
