The department's production and services expo, with nights of music and dance at Plaza de los Héroes.
What it is
Expo Caazapá is the biggest showcase of production and services in the region, the kind that mixes a farm and livestock fair with entertainment. It is run by an organizing commission with municipal support, and the national culture calendar lists it in January with a contact at the provincial government. In 2015, its 15th edition, it was held at the city's Plaza de los Héroes: four days with a blessing of the event, dance schools, singers and regional groups every night, and a queen pageant. Combine the visit with the Ykua Bolaños Festival, which is also held in Caazapá in late January.
