The story

National Pomelo Festival in Laguna Blanca

A two-day citrus festival in Laguna Blanca, Formosa, that grew from a 1972 rural school cooperative gathering into a free-entry expo of small producers, crafts and regional gastronomy paired with concerts, sports activities and children's programming, drawing crowds reported well into six figures, now scaled up with backing from Formosa's tourism ministry and a national regional-development fund.

A rural school's cooperative in Laguna Blanca started what became Formosa's biggest citrus festival: in 1972, members of Frontier School No.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival was founded by a school parent-teacher cooperative to support small and medium citrus producers, and that founding purpose is still visible in the exhibition's producer-focused stands even as the event has grown into a provincially backed, concert-anchored weekend

02

The mystery stays covered

Grapefruit remains the specific citrus theme, distinguishing it from the region's broader citrus festivals

03

The city starts moving

Over five decades the event has grown from a small local gathering into one drawing crowds reported well into six figures across its two-day run, and Argentina's national agricultural institute, INTA, has maintained a presence at recent editions, tying the fair's entertainment growth back to its citrus-producer roots
