About this plan
In August, Bogotá honors memory and respect with a cultural program built to celebrate older adults. The District Institute of the Arts, Idartes, joins the Month of Aging with a free schedule that travels across several districts of the city.
During the whole month you can enjoy dance, film, literature, community projects, and art interventions that put the stories and contributions of those who built Bogotá's culture at the center. One of the most eye-catching events is Gala Danza Mayor, a day to celebrate body expression and the careers of older dancers.
The lineup also includes special film screenings, reading clubs, and international dance and music showcases. All activities are free, but check the official source for each event to reserve a spot or confirm capacity.
