In Magdalena, Colombia—particularly in Santa Marta—there are several organized Friday Night Bar Crawls and nightlife events scheduled for March 2026. The most prominent is the guided weekly crawl through the Historic Center, alongside alternative party experiences like "Chiva" bus tours and catamaran parties.
If you prefer to create your own "crawl," these are the most highly-rated venues in the Centro Histórico:
Iconic for salsa, champeta, and Caribbean rhythms; usually no cover charge.
A popular party hostel with multiple floors and a rooftop bar.
An upscale rooftop offering views of the Sierra Nevada and Parque de los Novios.
Known for its rock and roll atmosphere and fresh cocktails.
Would you like the booking links for any of these tours, or would you prefer a list of dress-code compliant outfits for the bars?
