Expo Santa Rita is the largest agribusiness exhibition in the interior of Paraguay and the country's second largest overall, staged annually in the small farming district of Santa Rita in Alto Parana department, about seventy kilometers from the border crossing between Ciudad del Este and Foz do Iguacu.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

What sets Expo Santa Rita apart is its scale relative to a small farming district: for over a week the town becomes the country's second largest agribusiness showcase, trailing only the national rural exposition held near the capital

02

The mystery stays covered

Founded to serve the Brazilian and Paraguayan settler farming communities of Alto Parana, the fair pairs heavy machinery displays and cattle judging rings with a full concert schedule that draws performers from both sides of the border

03

The city starts moving

Its location near the Itaipu binational dam and Foz do Iguacu means the crowd genuinely mixes Portuguese, Spanish, and Guarani speakers across the exhibition pavilions and food stalls
