About this plan
The Bread and Dessert Festival lands at Parque El Country in Usaquén, a must-visit stop for anyone looking for things to do in Bogotá in August. The 'Hecho en Bogotá' initiative, run by the Mayor's Office and the District Secretariat of Economic Development, brings over 70 local entrepreneurs together in an open-air market with free entry.
Over three days you walk through a space full of aroma and flavor. You find traditional and artisan breads, baked goods, pastries, desserts, single-origin coffees, jams, butters, drinks, and other treats prepared by local producers. It is a solid excuse to head out with family, try new things, and take something home made in the city.
Entry is free and hours run from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Check the official page for final details before you go, as last-minute changes can happen.
