Event Details
Once a year, Asunción’s most historic street clears its traffic and fills with people instead. Palma Joven marks the start of spring and Youth Month with twelve hours of live music, street food and an open-air fair along Calle Palma.
The music runs from late morning until 23:00, with Kchiporros, Cumbia Juan, Talento de Barrio and DJ Indio Rubio on the bill. Around the stages, embassies, universities and public institutions run the Feria de Oportunidades, sharing scholarships, training programmes and exchange places for anyone weighing up their next step.
Entry is free and there is nothing to sign up for. Organisers expect around 100,000 people through the day, so go early if crowds are not your thing – or after dark, when the street is at its loudest.
