The first edition took place on 6–13 November 2004. Festival programming director José Luis Cienfuegos resignated in April 2023. In August 2023, the new municipal administration determined to postpone the 20th edition, due to be held in early November 2023, to the Spring of 2024, in order to make room for the celebration of the 24th Annual Latin Grammy Awards. Such plans were rolled back days later, with the festival returning to a November 2023 date, but later in the month and featuring a shorter format.
