The story

Festival Lago Joven in Ciudad del Este

Festival Lago Joven is a free, open-air music festival held at the Anfiteatro del Lago beside the Lago de la Republica in Ciudad del Este. Begun in 2013 to mark the arrival of spring and to celebrate national Youth Day, it has grown each year into a full day of music, sport, and community activities for young people.

Festival Lago Joven began in 2013 as a way for Ciudad del Este to mark two occasions at once, the arrival of spring and Paraguay's national Youth Day, and it has expanded every year since into one of the city's signature free public events.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival is distinctive for pairing two occasions at once, the start of spring and Paraguay's Youth Day, into a single free daytime and evening program built specifically around the country's amphitheater on the shore of Ciudad del Este's Lago de la Republica

02

The mystery stays covered

Unlike ticketed commercial concerts, Lago Joven keeps free admission as a founding principle, drawing national rock, pop, and folkloric acts to a young, largely local audience, and pairs the music with recreational, educational, artistic, and sports activities that run through the daylight hours before the evening concerts begin
