The story

Fiesta de San Cono in Florida

A major religious festival honoring San Cono, patron saint of the city of Florida, held every 3 June and marking a public holiday locally; the 2026 edition celebrated 141 years of the tradition, drawing large crowds of pilgrims and visitors for a day mixing devotion, promesas and civic festivity.

San Cono is, by most measures, one of Uruguay's most significant local religious festivals, centered on the Capilla San Cono in the city of Florida and observed every 3 June with a scale and civic recognition unusual for a single-saint devotion.
