The story

Festival de la Juventud Rural in San Jose

A rural youth festival tradition matching Uruguay's real Festival Nacional del Joven Rural, organized through the country's Sociedades de Fomento Rural network and hosted in San Jose department at Rincon de Valentin, reaching its 23rd edition in a recent year with competitions, folk performance and rural-youth showcase programming.

Uruguay's countryside is organized in large part around Sociedades de Fomento Rural, local rural development associations that combine agricultural advocacy with community and cultural programming, and their youth wing, the Juventud Rural movement, stages an annual national gathering, the Festival Nacional del Joven Rural, to showcase the next generation of that movement.

The place changes

02

The mystery stays covered

its long run, past twenty editions, reflects sustained institutional backing from the national rural fomento network and its dedicated Juventud Rural program, giving smaller inland towns a rare turn at hosting a nationally recognized youth gathering
