The story

National Poultry Festival in Crespo

A festival honoring Crespo's identity as Argentina's National Capital of Poultry, a title granted by President Arturo Illia after attending the first edition in October 1964. Poultry-industry exhibitions dating to the town's hatchery modernization era share the program with music, dance, and comedy performances each November, building on a local Poultry Day observance first organized in 1959.

President Arturo Illia attended Crespo's first Fiesta Nacional de la Avicultura in October 1964, and the visit carried weight: impressed by the town's growth as a poultry-industry hub, he designated Crespo Argentina's National Capital of Poultry that same year, a title the town has held onto since and still promotes as central to its civic identity.
