Quitofest 2026: dates, venues and what we know of the lineup
The official Fiestas de Quito agenda puts Quitofest on 4 to 6 December: Rock at the Ágora of the Casa de la Cultura and two days at the Arena Bicentenario.
Quitofest 2026 runs from Friday 4 to Sunday 6 December, with a different stage each day, according to the official Fiestas de Quito 2026 agenda published by the city on its culture website:
- Friday 4 December, 17:00: Quitofest Rock, at the Ágora of the Casa de la Cultura (Avenida Patria and Avenida 6 de Diciembre).
- Saturday 5 December, 14:00: Quitofest - Música Nacional, at the Arena Bicentenario in Parque Bicentenario.
- Sunday 6 December, 14:00: Quitofest - Alternativo, at the Arena Bicentenario in Parque Bicentenario.
The agenda notes that it is subject to change. The festival's Ticketplus page still says 27 to 29 November; while the two disagree, we follow the city's agenda.
Who is playing?
The official agenda names no bands, and we found no confirmed 2026 lineup. Be wary of artist lists that do not cite the festival: the lineup with Orishas and Los Amigos Invisibles belongs to the 2025 edition.
Do you need a ticket?
Ticketplus describes it as free entry, and the official agenda gives no price. Check before you go, since registration or other conditions may appear closer to the date.
What else is on in Quito
Quitofest coincides with the end of the festivities: Sunday the 6th is the founding anniversary and Monday the 7th is a local holiday. See our Fiestas de Quito guide, concerts in Quito and December plans, which update themselves.
