The future of flowers: children and young people flourish at the XXVIII edition of the Silleteritos Parade in Medellín

The XXVIII edition of the Silleteritos Parade in Medellín will take place on Sunday, July 19, under the theme 'Territory of Magic Hands.' The event aims to preserve the silletero tradition, recognized as Intangible Cultural Heritage of the Nation, by involving 560 children, adolescents, and young people who will carry traditional flower-laden saddles. The parade will start at the Institución Educativa Santa Elena and cover a one-kilometer route to the main park arena. It includes categories based on age groups and features 10 neurodivergent participants who will showcase their artistic and cultural skills. There will be no competition, and all participants will receive symbolic awards. The event also includes educational workshops and cultural activities throughout the day.
