What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Fronte(i)ra is explicitly built around the fact that Rivera and Santana do Livramento are twin cities divided only by an open international boundary line running through a shared plaza, and the festival uses that geography literally, staging its pavilions directly on the Parque Internacional that spans both countries

02

The mystery stays covered

Consolidated as the largest wine-and-gastronomy event in southern Brazil and Uruguay combined, its 9th edition drew record numbers, more than 200 exhibitors from both countries across over 2,400 square meters of activity space, with organizers anticipating up to 120,000 visitors over three days

03

The city starts moving

The festival goes beyond food, incorporating a formal Foro de Integracion Brasil-Uruguay attended by government ministers from both countries, positioning the event as a deliberate instrument of binational cultural and economic integration rather than a purely culinary showcase
