The story

Fiesta Nacional del Inmigrante in Coronel Bogado

Since 2005, Coronel Bogado has held the Fiesta Nacional del Inmigrante each May, organized by the Association of Immigrants and Descendants of Slavs as tribute to the Russian, Belarusian, Czech, Slovak, Polish, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, and Yugoslav families who settled the area, with typical dress, dance performances, and a crowned National Queen of the Immigrant.

Coronel Bogado, in Itapua department, is best known nationally for chipa, but its population also carries a distinct immigration history that the town has chosen to formally celebrate.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

What distinguishes this festival is its specificity: it commemorates eight named Slavic and Eastern European nationalities that settled in and around Coronel Bogado, not a generic immigration theme, organized by a dedicated association (AIDE) rather than a municipal tourism office

02

The mystery stays covered

The event has grown steadily since 2005, reaching a 17th edition by 2025 with participation from Paraguay's national migration authority, and its centerpiece, the election and coronation of a National Queen of the Immigrant, gives the festival a structured ceremonial core alongside its food and dance programming
