In September, Chile transforms into an explosion of white, blue, and red to celebrate its Fiestas Patrias. On September 18 and 19, 2026, the entire country unites in one great celebration of identity and joy, with the aroma of empanadas and barbecues filling the air, as ‘fondas’ and ‘ramadas’ open their doors from the desert to the southern fjords.
It’s time to dance cueca, fly kites, and enjoy traditional games with the family. This is an unbeatable opportunity to discover the warmth of our people and the richness of our roots.
