The 69th Silleteros Parade marks the grand finale of the Flower Festival and stands as one of Medellín’s most iconic traditions. Once again, the city pays tribute to the silletero heritage of Santa Elena, the farming families, and the generations who have kept this unique cultural tradition alive, filling the streets with flowers, color, and cherished memories.
Along the parade route, hundreds of silleteros will carry traditional, monumental, emblematic, artistic, and commercial silletas on their backs in a celebration that connects the countryside with the city and honors a tradition that lies at the heart of Paisa identity. It’s an unforgettable way to experience the Flower Festival through its most beloved symbol and celebrate the people whose story continues to bloom from one generation to the next.
