  • Ayolas will hold its fourth Pira Chyryry food fair and arts and culture festival on Sept. 5 as part of the city’s 127th founding anniversary celebrations.
  • About 20 entrepreneurs, including artisans and fishermen’s wives, will sell fish dishes, natural juices, local crafts and the traditional pira chyryry dish.
  • The evening festival will feature local, national and international performers from Paraguay and Argentina.

Ayolas will turn its 127th founding anniversary celebrations into a showcase for local food and culture this Saturday, Sept. 5, with the fourth edition of Pira Chyryry.

The event will begin at 9 a.m. at the Mil Viviendas esplanade with a food fair. About 20 entrepreneurs are expected to take part, including artisans and fishermen’s wives. They will offer fish-based dishes, natural juices and local handicrafts. The traditional pira chyryry will be the featured dish, and Paraguay’s National Secretariat of Culture recognizes the recipe as Intangible Cultural Heritage.

From 6 p.m., the Teatro de las Mil Viviendas will host an arts and culture festival. The program includes local and departmental performers, as well as artistic delegations from Corrientes province in Argentina. Admission will cost G. 10,000.

The musical lineup includes Tina Grancé with Dúo Mborayhu, Umahuaré from San Juan Bautista, Los Sureños from San Ignacio in Misiones, and chamamé performers from Ituzaingó, Argentina. Local acts include the Espínola brothers, Princesita del Acordeón, Maicol, Chamameceros de Silvio, the Semillas Musicales project and the Ituzaingó Municipal Ballet. Community and Misiones department dance groups will also perform.

Organizers say the gathering will give small traders, entrepreneurs and fishermen in Ayolas a way to generate income during difficult economic conditions. They also hope it can help cushion a possible downturn linked to El Niño, which is forecast to begin in October and continue through December.

Around 20 entrepreneurs will participate in the fair.
