Cuenca & Azuay
What’s Happening in Cuenca and Azuay This Weekend?
November 12 – November 16, 2026
Cuenca’s weekend balances a major electronic concert with independent film, traditional dance, Ecuadorian music and several exhibitions. The result feels appropriately varied for a city whose cultural calendar is often strongest when large events and smaller gallery programmes overlap.
