The story

Amazonas Colonies Festival in Leticia

Held each 30 June and known locally as the Fiesta Sanpedrina, Leticia's colonies festival gathers migrant-community associations - huilense, tolimense, santandereana, costena, paisa and llanera colonias among them - for a reina de colonias pageant, carriage parade and regional food displays. It showcases the regional diversity of Colombians who have settled in this Amazonian border city, distinct from the city's separate international Festival de la Confraternidad Amazonica.

Leticia's colonies festival, known locally as the Fiesta Sanpedrina, runs each year on 30 June and is organised around Colombia's tradition of regional colonias - associations of migrants from other parts of the country who have settled in a given city and maintain their home region's identity within it.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Few Colombian festivals are built explicitly around internal migrant-community identity rather than local folklore or indigenous tradition, with candidates in the central pageant representing their region of origin rather than the host city itself

02

The mystery stays covered

Its setting in Leticia, Colombia's southernmost city on the Amazonian border with Peru and Brazil, makes the festival a documented marker of internal settlement patterns into a region far from any of the represented colonias' home territory

03

The city starts moving

Its timing and Saint Peter's feast connection place it within a wider national pattern of San Pedro-linked civic celebrations, while its migrant-community format distinguishes it from most other versions of that same date elsewhere in Colombia
