Locro Festival: it will be at noon

Next Saturday, May 25, starting at 12, the traditional Locro Festival organized by the municipality of the Capital will be held at the Park Fair (Parque Adán Quiroga), which brings together a large number of chefs year after year. who present their dishes to an audience eager to enjoy a traditional national day.

Although at first the event had been planned to take place on Friday the 24th in a night vigil, it was decided to move the celebration to Saturday at noon, due to the entry of a polar wave in the region, which will generate a abrupt drop in temperatures.

In addition to the competition for the best dish, residents will also be able to enjoy live music, dance, food trucks and an active fair that brings together a large number of local artisans and entrepreneurs.

Registration is still open for civil organizations and institutions that want to participate in the “best locro dish” competition.

On this occasion there will be 50 stands set up for the competition that will award 400,000 pesos for the winning dish. However, registration is also extended to all those entrepreneurs who, outside of the competition, want to be part of the event.

It is clarified that the positions 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.

Those who want to sign up to participate in the contest can do so by entering the Catamarca Capital website, where they will find the requirements and the registration form that they must complete. n
