Columbia: Manizales Fair

The Manizales Fair, Manizales’s own cultural New Year’s celebration, is a melting pot of Colombian, European, and Spanish traditions. People can attend the festival to experience bullfights, craft shows, folk and orchestra concerts, and more. The pinnacle of the event, however, is the International Coffee Pageant, where women compete for the title of “International Queen of Coffee.”
