The story

Festival Internacional de la Cultura Sucre in Sucre

Founded in 1993, Sucre's Festival Internacional de la Cultura once filled the city's colonial center with performing arts, music, literature and visual arts across several weeks each September or October, drawing major touring acts alongside Bolivian and Chuquisaca artists. The festival paused after its 2019 edition, and as of the most recent reporting its return remained unconfirmed, so travelers should verify current status before planning around it.

Sucre's Festival Internacional de la Cultura started in 1993 and grew, over roughly two decades, into one of Bolivia's most ambitious multi-discipline arts events, filling the city's UNESCO World Heritage colonial center with performing arts, literature, music, and audiovisual and visual arts programming for several weeks each edition.
