Asunción’s Palma Street will host the third edition of Palma Joven on Saturday, September 19, with a full day of music, food and commercial activity. The annual fair will run from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. in the city’s downtown area, celebrating Youth Day and the arrival of spring.

Organizers officially presented the 2026 event at a news conference on Saturday and confirmed several performers. Kchiporros will headline a lineup that also includes Cumbia Juan, Talento de Barrio and DJ Indio Rubio. The organizers said they will announce more artists in the coming days.

This year’s fair will add a “fair of opportunities,” according to Salma Agüero, minister of Paraguay’s National Youth Secretariat. Embassies and international organizations will attend to provide information about scholarship opportunities.

Agüero said the event should offer more than entertainment. “The goal is for the fair to be an experience in which we can not only have entertainment, but young people can also find opportunities,” she said.

The previous two editions drew approximately 50,000 and 60,000 people, respectively, to downtown Asunción, according to the minister. Organizers now estimate that this year’s event could attract 100,000 people or more.
