Locro Festival for May 25

The municipality of San Fernando del Valle de Catamarca reported yesterday that calls are now open for civil organizations and institutions that want to register for the “best dish” competition during the traditional Locro Festival, which will take place next Friday, December 24. May, from 8 p.m. at the Park Fair (Parque Adán Quiroga).

Unlike previous editions, this time the event will change location and time as a night vigil, instead of the traditional celebration at noon.

Around 50 stands enabled for the competition will participate in the event, in which important cash prizes will be awarded: 1st prize: best product $400,000, 2nd prize: best presentation $300,000 and 3rd prize: best stand decoration $200,000.

However, registration is also extended to all those entrepreneurs who, outside of the competition, want to be part of the event and present their dishes to the public.

From the municipality they clarified that “the stands that will be part of the competition will be awarded to the first 50 registrants who meet all the requirements, with whom organization personnel will communicate directly.”

Like every year, the Locro Festival will have an important organization that will also include live shows and surprises for the general public.

The requirements to register are: name of the institution, note with authorization stamp to represent the institution, names of the 4 people authorized to be part of the stand, photocopy of the health card and contact telephone number.
