The 2026 edition of Feria Palmear has been officially launched, signalling that Palmear Fair is back and ready to offer a renewed cultural experience in the heart of Paraguay’s capital. The event will begin on Saturday, 18 April, bringing life back to Asunción’s Historic Centre with a dynamic programme of activities.
The announcement that Palmear Fair is back was made by First Lady Leticia Ocampos during a formal event held at Mburuvicha Róga. Authorities, organisers, and cultural representatives gathered to celebrate the fair’s growth and unveil its vision for the upcoming season.
A growing cultural movement
During the launch, attendees were shown a recap of the 2025 edition, highlighting the fair’s impact on the city’s cultural scene. Organisers also introduced a refreshed visual identity and an expanded proposal for 2026.
This 2026 edition marks a new phase of development for Feria Palmear. The initiative will broaden its cultural and civic reach through new experiences and special editions. These additions aim to attract a wider audience and encourage ongoing participation in the Historic Centre. Over time, Palmear has evolved beyond a traditional street fair. Its continued growth reflects a strong public interest in reclaiming and revitalising urban spaces.
Reviving Calle Palma
Since its creation, Feria Palmear has played a key role in restoring the importance of Calle Palma. Once the city’s most iconic street, it has again become a lively meeting point for thousands of residents and visitors. Each edition brings together artists, vendors, and entrepreneurs. The initiative creates a vibrant environment centred on culture, gastronomy, and urban life. This atmosphere has helped strengthen the connection between Asunción and its people.
Palmear fair is back in 2026!
Speakers at the launch emphasised the collective effort behind Palmear’s success. They noted how the initiative has helped place central Asunción back at the heart of civic life. With its 2026 edition, Feria Palmear reaffirms its commitment to promoting community engagement and cultural identity. As the Historic Centre continues its process of revitalisation, the fair is expected to remain a key driver of urban renewal and social connection.
