This departmental folk dance meeting was founded in 1997. Each year, different dancing groups from all the municipalities in the Department are invited, and also as special guests from other places in Colombia are invited too -they are not in competition-. The festival rewards the best dancing group with a trophy and money.  The dances of the festivals are performed in the Coliseum. Departmental festival of Caquetá folk dances brings together a lot of people and visitors in August.

Since thirteen years "Curillo" town has been developing the "Departmental festival of Caquetá folk dances"  which main purpose is to research, create and recreate a dance that represents Caquetá Department and also strengthen the regional identity. During this festival a departmental forum is acomplished. In this forum the dance's situation is analyzed and many actions are proposed in order to solve the problems related to the folk culture. In addition, dancing groups perform some samples of their work (in a free version) and also propose what could identify better the folk work in Caquetá.
