## About this plan

Lucha libre lands in Bogotá's public spaces as part of the 2026 Summer Festival, which marks the city's 488th birthday. From August 6 to 15, four outdoor show days bring wrestling matches and exhibitions to the streets, and entry is free for everyone.

Each date features 14 wrestlers showing off technique, strength, and agility in a format built for families.
