The story

Hecho en Casa Fest in Santiago

Hecho en Casa Fest is a free, open-air public art festival billed as the largest urban art event in Latin America, installing monumental sculptural works across Santiago's parks and boulevards, including Parque Almagro and the Alameda, typically over about a week in late November or early December. Recent editions have expanded into neighboring Providencia's Parque Balmaceda alongside participatory community projects.

Hecho en Casa Fest bills itself as the largest urban art festival in Latin America, and its physical scale supports the claim: past editions have installed monumental public artworks across Santiago, including a five-meter mirrored disco ball suspended by crane over Parque Almagro and a roughly five-meter-tall, two-tonne pinata built from reused multicolored fabric along the Alameda, the capital's central boulevard.
