Tumaco, on Colombia's Pacific coast, hosts its first Nautical Concert this Saturday as part of the Fire Carnival. The event, at Puente del Morro, will feature live music over the water with strict safety measures. Airline Satena has added flights to ease visitor arrivals.
Tumaco's Fire Carnival marks a milestone with its first Nautical Concert, scheduled for Saturday, February 14, 2026, starting at 3:00 p.m. in the Puente del Morro sector. This show follows the traditional Nautical Parade and will be enjoyed from boats and the shore, with the ocean as the main stage.
National and international artists, such as Mayimbe Orquesta, alongside local talents, will perform on a stage facing the sea. Dozens of boats will anchor in a delimited zone, while families watch from the bridge and giant screens broadcast the event at sunset.
To ensure safety, only boats meeting requirements like life jackets, sober captain, and proper anchoring will enter. Oversight will be by Dimar, Coast Guard, National Navy, and Police, with ambulances on both sides of the bridge and rescue services at sea. Risky maneuvers are prohibited, and citizens are urged to be responsible, such as arriving early and avoiding parking motorcycles on the bridge.
Mayor Félix Henao emphasized: “The sea is our natural stage and we want locals and visitors to enjoy it in an organized and safe environment.” This concert aims to position Tumaco as a cultural destination.
Supporting the event, airline Satena added extra flights on the Cali-Tumaco-Cali route on February 14 and 17, meeting demand from passengers, artists, and visitors. It also offers promotional fares for direct flights to Tumaco, available from February 12 to 17 for use from February 20 to March 26, 2026.
Satena's president, Major General Óscar Zuluaga Castaño, stated: “These actions are part of our commitment to territorial integration and regional development. Strengthening connectivity in Colombia's Pacific is a priority for Satena, especially in contexts where culture, tourism, and local identity become engines of development.”
The event highlights institutional coordination and collective commitment for a safe and memorable celebration.
