Singing, payadas, jineteadas, bonfires and country skills are protagonists in hundreds of traditional festivities throughout the year. We invite you to discover them.

The most representative rural traditions of the country are expressed through different parties and festivals held throughout the year throughout the Uruguayan territory. A clear example of this is the Fiesta de la Patria Gaucha in Tacuarembó, the Semana Criolla del Prado in Montevideo and the Parque Roosevelt in Canelones, among many others.
Song, music, payadas, jineteadas, bonfires, demonstrations of country skills usually converge in these festivities that constitute a typical mark of the Uruguayan identity that cannot be missed.
Uruguayan folklore presents different manifestations and rhythms such as the Vidalita, the Milonga, the Payada and the Pericón, always accompanied by the guitar. This musical instrument, introduced during the period of Spanish domination, is inseparable from every Creole songbook and gaucho expression. In the same way, the accordion has enriched with its graceful cadence, the music of our folklore.
