About us
Spanglish Events was built for the bilingual, curious, and community-driven — whether you’ve lived in Medellín your whole life or arrived last week. We curate, not collect. We organize, not overwhelm.
Why we exist
Two statements that guide every decision we make — from which events we feature to how we build our community.
Mission
Spanglish Events exists to connect people through meaningful, well-curated experiences in Medellín. We make it easy for locals, travelers, and bilingual communities to discover events they genuinely enjoy by prioritizing quality over quantity, clarity over noise, and connection over convenience. Through thoughtful event creation, curated recommendations, and consistent community engagement, we aim to build a space where culture, language, and shared experiences come together naturally.
Vision
Our vision is to become the leading platform for curated, community-driven experiences in Medellín and beyond — setting the standard for how people discover, create, and connect through events. We aim to build a trusted ecosystem where events, content, and community are seamlessly integrated, making it effortless for people from all backgrounds to find belonging, explore new cultures, and build real connections.
What we believe
We don’t list every event in Medellín. We list the ones worth going to. Curation is the product.
We’d rather show you 10 great events than 200 average ones.
Every listing tells you what the event is, who it’s for, when, where, and how to join — nothing more, nothing less.
If you have to guess, we haven’t done our job.
We’re not an algorithm. We’re a community. Every choice we make is aimed at real connection between real people.
Technology serves the relationship, not the other way around.
Spanish and English aren’t an afterthought. They’re the foundation. Every piece of content exists in both.
Language shouldn’t be a barrier to belonging.

01 — Discovery
We research, evaluate, and hand-select events across Medellín. If it’s on our platform, it passed our quality filter.
02 — Creation
We don’t just list events — we help organizers create them. From concept to execution, we support bilingual, community-driven experiences.
03 — Community
We show up consistently — on Instagram, WhatsApp, and in person. The platform is the hub; the community is the point.
The bigger picture
Each part of what we do feeds the others. Events drive community. Community creates content. Content brings people to events.
Curated listings, featured picks, category browsing. The core product.
Recaps, guides, event spotlights, bilingual posts. Keeps the community informed between events.
Instagram, WhatsApp, and the people who show up. The reason everything else exists.
