The story

Festival por la Paz in Caracas

Festival por la Paz is a free open-air concert held on May 1st at the La Carlota air base and adjoining Parque Francisco de Miranda in Caracas, combining Labor Day with a large multi-stage music program. The most recent edition featured more than 60 national and international artists across eight simultaneous stages.

Each May 1st, Caracas hosts the Festival por la Paz, a free open-air concert that takes over Parque Francisco de Miranda, commonly known as Parque del Este, together with the adjoining La Carlota air base, formally the Base Aerea Generalisimo Francisco de Miranda.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Its scale and free admission distinguish it from typical ticketed concerts: the event spans both Parque del Este and the adjacent La Carlota air base, giving organizers room for eight stages running simultaneously rather than a single headline act

02

The mystery stays covered

Framed explicitly around themes of peace and, in some editions, opposition to international sanctions, the festival blends Venezuelan performers such as Omar Enrique, Corina Smith, and the Venezuelan Symphony Orchestra with international guests including Nicky Jam, Jerry Rivera, Natalia Jimenez, and Los Rabanes, creating a lineup that crosses salsa, merengue, pop, and orchestral programming in one afternoon
