What to Do in La Paz in October 2026

By · October 17, 2026 · 7 min read

LA PAZ · Culture

Todos Somos Ángeles Rock Fest closes the month on Saturday 31 October, with a Uriah Heep special the night before. This guide covers ten confirmed events from 17 to 31 October, day by day.

LA PAZ — This is the guide to things to do in La Paz in October 2026 for the rest of the month, from Saturday 17 October. It lists ten events that the organiser, the city or a ticket seller has confirmed, with venue and time.

Prices are in bolivianos (BOB), with US$ values in brackets.

The month ends with the first Bolivian date of Todos Somos Ángeles Rock Fest, an open-air show led by the Mexican band Ángeles del Infierno. Before that, the city agenda offers a stage production, a Uriah Heep special evening, a music honours evening and several small cultural events in museums, libraries and a children’s space.

We checked each listing against the municipal cultural agenda (Jiwaki, run by the La Paz city government), the festival organiser and the ticket seller on 17 October 2026. Where a price or detail is not published, we say so instead of guessing.

We found no confirmed November event yet, so the guide stops at 31 October.

17 to 21 October: theatre, a museum evening and the city anniversary

Saturday 17 October, 19:00

Antiurbano

Teatro Municipal Alberto Saavedra Pérez, Centro · Price not listed · Municipal agenda

The city agenda lists this production for tonight at the main historic theatre in the centre. The listing gives no description of the programme and no ticket price, so ask at the box office before you go.

Tuesday 20 October, 18:30

Seres del Séptimo Sentido

Museo Costumbrista Juan de Vargas, Centro · Price not listed · Municipal agenda

The city agenda lists this evening at the costumbrist museum on 20 October, the day La Paz marks its founding in 1548. The agenda gives no programme details, so treat the time as the only firm fact.

The municipal agenda also lists a psychopedagogy talk on managing emotions in children and teenagers at the Villa Victoria zonal library on Wednesday 21 October at 15:00. The listing gives no price.

Both evening venues are in the central district, so you can reach them without crossing the city. La Paz lies above 3,500 metres, so newcomers should walk slowly on the hills and drink water before a long evening out.

24 to 25 October: weekend afternoons for families

Saturday 24 October, 15:00

Bat Pepper Club: Scrapbooking Murciélaguero

Espacio Interactivo Memoria y Futuro Pipiripi · Price not listed · Municipal agenda

The city agenda lists a scrapbooking workshop with a bat theme at the Pipiripi interactive space. The listing gives no age range or price.

Sunday 25 October, 15:00

Ch’iti Warmi “Cholitas Skaters”

Espacio Interactivo Memoria y Futuro Pipiripi · Price not listed · Municipal agenda

The agenda lists the session under the name Cholitas Skaters. It does not describe the format, so confirm details with the venue.

27 to 30 October: municipal honours and a Uriah Heep evening

Tuesday 27 October, 19:30

Recognition of living Bolivian authors and composers

Teatro Municipal Alberto Saavedra Pérez, Centro · Price not listed · Municipal agenda

The city honours songwriters and composers who are still alive. It is a useful evening if you want to hear how Bolivian musicians describe their own tradition.

Thursday 29 October, 19:00

10th Meeting of Adults and Older Adults: Art and Dance with Our Elders

Teatro Municipal Alberto Saavedra Pérez, Centro · Price not listed · Municipal agenda

This is a community event with art and dance by older residents. It is a quieter look at city life than the larger rock shows of the month.

The agenda also lists a children’s storytelling session, Aptapi of La Paz Tales for Children, at the Villa Victoria zonal library on Thursday 29 October at 15:00.

Friday 30 October, 19:30

Mírate a ti mismo: a Uriah Heep special

Cine Teatro Municipal 6 de Agosto, Centro · Price not listed · Municipal agenda

The programme is a special dedicated to the British rock band Uriah Heep. The agenda does not say who performs, so we cannot confirm whether it is a tribute band or a screening. It suits classic-rock fans who prefer a seated theatre to an open-air crowd.

The municipal agenda does not publish ticket prices for these events. Ask at the theatre box office or check the agenda before you go.

31 October: the rock festival

Saturday 31 October, 20:00

Todos Somos Ángeles Rock Fest 2026

Teatro al Aire Libre, Av. del Poeta · Tickets BOB 230 to 666 (about US to US) per the festival page

The line-up is Ángeles del Infierno, José Andrëa (the vocalist known from Mago de Oz), Basca, Jocker, Sarcasmo, Hate, Ikael and Templario. The organiser, Abrakdabra Producciones, calls it the first time the festival has come to Bolivia.

The festival’s own page gives a start of 20:00 and an end of 23:30. The BuenPlan ticket page shows 14:00 for the same day, and the two do not agree, so check the time printed on your ticket.

The festival page also shows a ticket range of BOB 230 to 666 (about US$20 to US$57), which differs from the four BuenPlan zones above. Buy only through the official platform and compare the zone before you pay.

Planning your La Paz in October

Bolivia moved to a flexible exchange-rate regime this year, and the central bank now updates the official dollar rate daily. The rate was BOB 11.73 per US$ for 10 to 12 October (Banco Central de Bolivia, as reported by Correo del Sur), and we use it for every US$ figure here.

It can move by the day you buy, so treat the dollar values as approximate.

BuenPlan sells the rock festival. The other events had no ticket platform in the agenda we checked, so entry rules and prices are unconfirmed.

For the latest changes, check the municipal cultural agenda at lapaz.bo, because programmes can shift at short notice. For background on the country that surrounds these evenings, read our explainer on Bolivia’s role in Latin America, our report on the Chile Bolivia accords and the Bolivia news hub.

What it means for you: if you are visiting from the United States, the open-air festival is the only large ticketed show on this list, and its time and price are the two details to confirm first. The municipal events are small and local, so they suit a short evening in the centre, but check each price first. At this altitude, nights are cold in spring, so bring a warm layer and plan your way home before the show starts.

What is not known: the agenda does not publish prices for most events, and no November programme with confirmed dates had appeared by 17 October. Programmes can also change at short notice.
