| 2026-10-10 → 2026-10-12 | Rock al Parque 2026 (30th anniversary edition) festival Confirmed 10-12 October 2026 — exceptionally moved to October for the 30-years edition. The world's largest free rock festival (~300,000+ over three days); free entry limits ADR upside but the anniversary edition pulls a sizable regional and international crowd into a holiday weekend already busy with SOFA. | medium | Parque Simón Bolívar | source ↗ |
| 2026-10-15 → 2026-10-18 | Cafés de Colombia Expo 2026 trade_fair Confirmed 15-18 October 2026 at Corferias.

| 2026-12-07 → 2026-12-24 | Día de las Velitas & Christmas Novenas season holiday Fixed tradition: candles on the night of 7-8 December open the Christmas season, followed by novenas 16-24 December and citywide light displays (Ruta de la Navidad). Drives domestic VFR travel and leisure strolling more than hotel compression — many bogotanos also leave the city — so the net hotel effect is moderate. | medium | Citywide | source ↗ |
| 2026-12-24 → 2027-01-01 | Christmas & New Year's Eve 2026-27 holiday Christmas Day and New Year's Day are Colombian public holidays.

Included for planning honesty: expect low occupancy, not compression. | low | Citywide | source ↗ |
