The Vallenato Legend Festival 1969 (Spanish: Festival de la Leyenda Vallenata 1969) was the second edition of the Vallenato Legend Festival, and was held from 26 to 28 April 1969 at the Plaza Alfonso López in Valledupar, Colombia. The main event of the festival was the professional accordionist competition, which was won by Colacho Mendoza, whose win sparked a small riot. The festival also held an amateur accordionist competition, won by Emiliano Zuleta Díaz, and an unpublished song competition, won by Gustavo Gutiérrez Cabello with "Rumores de Viejas Voces".
