The story

Festival Nacional del Terere in Itakyry

A three-day traditional festival in Itakyry, Alto Parana, held around Paraguay's National Tereré Day in late February, combining folk music, dance, and cultural exchange with regional artists from Argentina and Chile alongside Paraguayan national performers at the town's municipal sports complex each edition since its founding decades ago.

Itakyry, a district in Paraguay's Alto Parana department near the Brazilian border region, holds one of the country's most established beverage-themed festivals, timed each year to coincide with National Tereré Day on February 24, the date Law 4,261 designates in recognition of tereré as Paraguay's Cultural Heritage and National Beverage.
