Hot on the heels of the ballet dancers comes the renowned art fair, the Habana Bienal. There\u2019s always a buzz about the city as art shows are mounted in galleries, studios and in plazas. And sculptures are erected in public spaces, too. Performances take place in parks and squares, too. The Malec\u00f3n is turned into a huge open-air art space with multiple works for the always exciting \u2018Detr\u00e1s del Muro\u2019 (Behind the Wall). This year the magic runs from November 15 through to February 28th<\/sup> next year<\/a>. The 15th<\/sup> Habana Bienal programme is not yet published but highlights include emblematic works of previous bienals on show at former tram station – L\u00ednea Cultural Station (L\u00ednea Street and 18th<\/sup> Street, El Vedado). Some 240 artists from 57 nations are due to take part. Tickets and more information are found at the Wifredo Lam Centre alongside the cathedral in Old Havana.<\/p>\n\n\n

Baila en Cuba is for those who take their salsa seriously. Learn from dance maestros during the festival which runs from November 17-22. And, for those interested in Cuba\u2019s arts and crafts, the annual artisans\u2019 fair FIART is held from December 2-15. All the works and crafts are unveiled at the Pabexpo exhibition centre and the L\u00ednea Cultural Station. The streets will get a little busier, too, from December 9th<\/sup> to the 15th<\/sup> when Cubans celebrate the second Speed Master Championships for skaters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In December, cinephiles flock to Havana for the International Festival of New Latin American Cinema<\/a>. Expect razzle, screenings at several cinemas in El Vedado neighbourhood, and parties in the Cuban capital from December 5 for 10 days. This year\u2019s festival has seen more than 2,000 movies submitted. Find tickets and programme information at the festival\u2019s base in the Hotel Nacional. One or two Hollywood stars always show up for the event adding a little bit of extra stardust to the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

December also sees a second outing for the capital\u2019s vinyl festival Havana RPM<\/a> which shakes up warehouses on the dockside in Old Havana. Organised by Gu\u00e1mpara Music, expect all the best tunes and cool vibes on December 13 and 14,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Autumn and winter are wonderful times to visit Havana<\/strong><\/a> and are perfect months in which to tap into the wealth of Cuba\u2019s creative culture. Not visiting until January? Time your trip for the annual jazz festival from January 26 to February 3. Music fills venues \u2013 inside and out – across El Vedado neighbourhood.<\/p>\n\n\n
