The story

National Wood Festival in San Vicente

A timber-industry festival in San Vicente, Misiones, held since 1982 in tribute to the region's loggers and sawmill families. Industrial exhibitions and machinery demonstrations run alongside a woodworking craft fair and concert programming, reflecting the town's status as a major Argentine timber-producing center in the Alto Uruguay, with recent editions drawing tens of thousands of visitors to the town's exhibition grounds.

San Vicente calls itself Argentina's National Capital of Wood, and its timber festival, first held in October 1982, began as a direct tribute to the loggers and sawmill families who built the town's economy in this stretch of Misiones province known as the Alto Uruguay.
