Cuenca's most beloved religious-and-sweet festival. The seven-day Septenario starts Thursday June 4 with nightly Eucharistic processions, fireworks castillos, and roughly 100 stands selling traditional dulces — roscas, suspiros, alfajores, cocadas, quesadillas — around Parque Calderón. Expect street closures in El Centro all week. Around 100,000 people attended in 2025.
Annual Andean solstice celebration honoring Inti (the Sun). Pumapungo hosts ceremonies, traditional dance, music, and the pampamesa communal meal. A more accessible in-town alternative to the larger Ingapirca festival 80 km north. Indigenous groups from across the southern Sierra participate.
