Cartagena, one of Colombia's most vibrant cities for culture, will kick off its 2026 agenda with the Farex Fair, scheduled from January 3 to 12 at the Convention Center. This gathering will bring together designers, artisans, jewelers, artists, and entrepreneurs who transform materials, knowledge, and traditions into creations focused on social and environmental impact.

"In Farex, we celebrate the transformative power of those who create with their hands. It's not just about objects, but processes that strengthen communities and preserve traditions. Each piece reflects a commitment to the environment and to a Colombia advancing toward a more conscious future," explained Chica Morales, Farex director.

The event will feature over 250 exhibitors presenting crafts, jewelry, art, fashion, wellness, beauty, and typical gastronomy, all under the banner of sustainability. Coca-Cola Colombia serves as a strategic ally, with a stand in the Claustro de las Ánimas hosting open activities on creativity and environmental care.

"At Coca-Cola Colombia, we believe in the power of the local and the talent of communities. That's why we support spaces like Farex, where entrepreneurs are the protagonists to show how creativity, purpose, and innovation can make a difference in building the country we want," stated Isabel González, Communications and Sustainability Manager of the company.

A highlight will be the Farex Fashion Sunset on January 6 at 5:00 p.m., a space connecting design, city, and lifestyle. The programming will include artistic manifestations, talks, craft demonstrations, exchanges with international guests, and awards such as Best Decorated Stand, Caribbean Revelation Exhibitor, and National Revelation Exhibitor, establishing Farex as a key early-year event.
