What to Do in Montevideo in November 2026
MONTEVIDEO · Culture
A baroque opera at Teatro Solís on 4 November, a run of arena concerts, and the Copa Libertadores final (South America’s top club-football decider) at Estadio Centenario on 28 November. The month, day by day.
MONTEVIDEO — This is the culture guide for things to do in Montevideo in November 2026, from 3 November on. Uruguay’s capital has a full month, with one big night at the arena almost every week.
We could not confirm ticket prices for most events, so this guide gives no peso amounts. For reference, the dollar traded at about 40.2 Uruguayan pesos (market-data provider RT, 2 November), so 1,000 pesos is roughly US$25.
This guide lists only events confirmed on an organiser, venue or tour page. Times and prices can change, so check the seller before you go.

Planning Your Montevideo November
The arena is the main stage: nine dated events in this guide fall at Antel Arena this month, and Tickantel sells for all of them. Buy through the seller named on each listing.
Saturday 28 November is the tightest day. The Libertadores final draws fans from Brazil and Argentina, and hotels may be short of rooms that weekend.
Book accommodation early.
Not confirmed: we could not verify the Dillom rap concert, a fado festival date at Sala Zitarrosa, a festival at Parque Roosevelt, Sodre’s November programme, a 4 en línea show on 28 November, or other Teatro Solís shows, so they are left out. We also could not confirm any public holiday for the rest of the month.
