San Juan de San Juan Bautista in San Juan Bautista

San Juan Bautista is the capital of Paraguay's Department of Misiones, founded in 1893 and home to around 16,593 people, located 196 kilometers south of Asuncion. No distinct festival program under this name was confirmed; this likely reflects the local observance of the Catholic Saint John the Baptist feast day on June 24, a tradition common to Paraguayan towns bearing this saint's name.

San Juan Bautista, the capital of Paraguay's Department of Misiones since its founding in 1893, carries a name tied directly to Saint John the Baptist, a saint whose feast day on June 24 is marked with local observance in Catholic communities across Paraguay.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Available information centers on San Juan Bautista's civic identity rather than a confirmed distinct festival: it is the seat of the Roman Catholic Diocese of San Juan Bautista de las Misiones, established in 1957, and has served as the capital of the Department of Misiones since its founding in 1893

02

The mystery stays covered

Towns named for Saint John the Baptist across Paraguay commonly mark his feast day on June 24 with local religious and community observances, and it is plausible this entry refers to that kind of local Catholic feast-day tradition rather than a separately branded festival, but no specific program of events was confirmed
