What's Happening in Guayaquil This Weekend?
November 6 – November 8, 2026
This weekend moves comfortably from independent books and intimate theatre to Korean pop culture, family entertainment and a gathering built around one of the coast's defining foods. The list is selective, but it has more range than it first appears - and Samborondón is an important part of the weekend too. Where organizers have announced only the essentials, we keep the description useful without filling the gaps with guesses.

12th Libre Libro 2026 — Independent Publishers Fair
📍 Guayaquil · Biblioteca de las Artes
Independent publishers take over the Biblioteca de las Artes for two free days of books, workshops, clinics, discussions, launches and performances. It is the weekend's richest literary plan and a good place to discover work beyond the largest publishing houses.
