THE NATIONAL MATE FESTIVAL IN PARANÁ

A MASSIVE CELEBRATION OF THE MOST ARGENTINE RITUAL

COLLECTIVE SQUARE | PARANA | FEBRUARY 6 AND 7 | FROM 6 PM | FREE ACCESS

On Friday, February 6 and Saturday, February 7, Paraná will once again become the matera capital with its 35th National Mate Festival, with free access, three stages, fairs, gastronomy and two nights of live music. The 2025 edition attracted more than 100,000 people, and this year the Festival returns with a powerful artistic lineup and an experience designed to be enjoyed in community.

Lali, Los Nocheros, Caballeros de la Quema, Rombai, Coti, Gauchito Club and Raly Barrionuevo They will be part of the artistic programming of this edition, which once again puts mate at the center for what it is: a daily ritual that identifies us and crosses generations.

Although access to the venue is free, the Festival will have a preferential sector located in front of the main stage, which will offer better visibility and differentiated services, such as a bar and exclusive restrooms. On Friday, February 6, the preferential sector will have stall mode (seated public), with a value of $35,000, while on Saturday, February 7 it will operate in field mode, with a value of $60,000. Tickets are limited and available through www.entradauno.com.

Beyond the live shows, the Festival proposes a complete experience that crosses culture, tradition and local life: entrepreneurs fair, art proposals, gastronomic patio run by city clubs, activities for childhood and the classic Primer Contestone of the most anticipated attractions, which celebrates the popular knowledge around mate and invites participants and visitors with prizes and recognitions.

Because in Argentina mate is not just a drink: It is a minimal day-to-day ceremony, a kind excuse to meet, and a habit that accompanies both silence and talk.. And with a call that grows year after year, the Festival has established itself as one of the great summer events in the region, with thousands of people coming to Paraná to experience a popular celebration that sets the whole city in motion.

The venue will be the Plaza de las Colectividades, with free entry to the premises from 6 pm, in an event that is already one of the most popular popular celebrations in the country.

THREE SCENARIOS, THREE WAYS TO EXPERIENCE THE PARTY

The programming is organized in three scenarios, with proposals for different audiences:

• MAJOR STAGE LUIS PACHA RODRÍGUEZ: the heart of the main shows and the national grid.

• EMERGING SCENARIO RELATED TO THE SEA: urban culture, new trends and current proposals.
