During this holiday Friday, August 7, 2026, the date commemorating the Battle of Boyacá Day, Bogotá will register various gathering points, demonstrations, and events that will impact mobility in several areas and roads of the capital.
The District authorities anticipated that these civic activities will generate disruptions in the usual vehicular flow and detours in the operation of the TransMilenio mass transit system, both in its trunk components and in the TransMiZonal routes.
To prevent setbacks on the city’s road network, the Social Dialogue and Human Rights managers of the District Government Secretariat will accompany each of the events in the scheduled localities, ensuring coexistence and the peaceful development of social protest.
Schedule and locations of the demonstrations
The calls made by associations and citizen collectives will take place at different time slots and sectors of the downtown, west, and south of the capital:
- Plaza de Bolívar (La Candelaria Locality): At 11th Street with Seventh Avenue, a political sit-in is scheduled to start at 1:00 p.m.
- Parkway (Teusaquillo Locality): At the meeting point in front of the D1 at 24th Avenue with 39th Street, a cultural event will take place starting at 10:00 a.m.
- Punto Renacer (Bosa Locality): On Ciudad de Cali Avenue with 51B South Street, a gathering will be held from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Authorities’ measures and mobility guidelines
