  • The youth-themed event will include a gourmet market, food court, artistic activities and products brought directly from farms across the country.
  • The fair will run from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. Thursday, resume at 7 a.m. Friday and continue until vendors sell out.

Asunción’s Costanera Norte will turn into a nighttime market on Thursday, when Paraguay’s Agriculture and Livestock Ministry opens a special edition of its family farming fair. The event will continue on Friday, combining direct farm sales with a youth-focused gourmet market.

The fair will feature processed foods, artisan products and fresh goods brought from farms in different parts of Paraguay. Unlike the ministry’s usual events, which generally begin early in the morning, Thursday’s program will run from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. It will reopen at 7 a.m. Friday and continue until producers run out of stock.

Carolin Leguizamón, the ministry’s fair coordinator, told ABC Cardinal that the format draws on nighttime markets that ministry technicians observed during a recent trip to Seoul, South Korea. The special edition also aims to give younger farmers greater visibility as spring begins and Paraguay marks Youth Day.

The organizers promise a food court, artistic activities and other attractions alongside what Leguizamón described as “many fresh products of excellent quality, differentiated prices, straight from the farm.”
