The story

Fiesta de la Citricultura in Salto

The Fiesta Nacional de la Citricultura is Salto's own citrus festival, distinct from a similarly named event across the river in Concordia, Argentina, held at Parque Harriague with local, national, and international musical acts. It returned in November after being cancelled in 2023 due to flooding of the venue.

The Rio Uruguay valley around Salto is one of South America's significant citrus-growing regions, and on both banks of the river, cities have built their own festivals to celebrate that identity, a fact that creates real potential for confusion.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Salto's Fiesta Nacional de la Citricultura should not be confused with the larger, similarly named Fiesta Nacional de la Citricultura held across the Rio Uruguay in Concordia, Argentina, at Parque Central Vinedos Moulins

02

The mystery stays covered

the two are separate national festivals in separate countries that happen to share a name and a citrus-growing river valley

03

The city starts moving

Salto's own edition, organized by the Intendencia de Salto, is held at Parque Harriague and had been paused in 2023 when the venue was completely flooded by a rise in the Rio Uruguay, prompting Mayor German Coutinho to declare on its return that the festival had come to stay, citing the massive two-night turnout at the Escenario Victor Lima with local, national, and international performers
