The story

Festival del Takuare'e in Guarambare

A long-running artistic and folkloric festival in Guarambare, south of Asuncion, named for the Guarani word for sugarcane, the town's principal historic crop, running since 1977 and reaching its 48th edition in late 2025 with a bilingual arts competition spanning music, dance, poetry, and theater categories.

Guarambare, a town in the southern part of Paraguay's Central department, takes its festival's name directly from its own agricultural history: takuare'e means sugarcane in Guarani, and the crop, along with the two sugar mills that processed it, once defined the local economy.

The place changes

The mystery stays covered

Organized by the Asociacion Cultural Takuare'e, it awards the prestigious Takuare'e Poty de Oro across more than 40 competitive categories spanning music, singing, dance and poetry in both Spanish and Guarani
