    About us

    We connect people through experiences that actually matter

    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

    Our mission & vision

    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

    Four principles we never compromise on

    Quality over quantity

    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.

    Clarity over noise

    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.

    Connection over convenience

    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.

    Bilingual by design

    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.

    Our audience

    Built for three kinds of people

    If you’ve ever searched “things to do in Medellín” and felt overwhelmed or underwhelmed — this is for you.

    Medellín locals

    Born and raised or long-term residents looking for events beyond their usual circles — something fresh, mixed, and well-organized.

    Residents · Paisa community

    Travelers & expats

    Digital nomads, short-term visitors, and newly arrived expats who want to meet people and experience real Medellín culture — not just tourist traps.

    Nomads · Expats · Visitors

    Bilingual communities

    People who live in-between languages and cultures — who want events where both English and Spanish are welcome and the crowd reflects that mix.

    ES/EN · Mixed crowds

    How we operate

    Three things we do — and do well

    01 — Discovery

    Curated event listings

    We research, evaluate, and hand-select events across Medellín. If it’s on our platform, it passed our quality filter.

    02 — Creation

    Event production & support

    We don’t just list events — we help organizers create them. From concept to execution, we support bilingual, community-driven experiences.

    03 — Community

    Consistent engagement

    We show up consistently — on Instagram, WhatsApp, and in person. The platform is the hub; the community is the point.

    The bigger picture

    Events, content, and community — interconnected

    Each part of what we do feeds the others. Events drive community. Community creates content. Content brings people to events.

    Events

    Curated listings, featured picks, category browsing. The core product.

    Content

    Recaps, guides, event spotlights, bilingual posts. Keeps the community informed between events.

    Community

    Instagram, WhatsApp, and the people who show up. The reason everything else exists.

    Events drive community · Community creates content · Content brings people back to events
