The Gran Corso de Wong y Metro, a large street parade, returns to Lima on Sunday 13 December 2026 after seven years. It is the first time the parade is held within the Christmas season.
Cencosud, the Chilean retail group that owns the Wong and Metro supermarket chains in Peru, drives the revival. Visitors and residents in Lima in December are the people most affected, although the route is not yet public.

América Multimedia, a Peruvian media company, organises and produces the event. Oscar Carbajal, its Commercial and Marketing Manager, is one of the spokespeople.
Cenco Malls, the Cencosud group’s shopping-centre business, joins this year as a new participant. Lissette Ramírez, Marketing Manager at Cencosud Perú, speaks for the retailer.
América Televisión, a Peruvian television channel, will broadcast the parade for viewers at home. Viewers who cannot attend can therefore watch it on television.
