A general commission for the fair was established on 11 June 1934 and included José Antônio Flores da Cunha [pt], Dário Brossard representing FARSUL (Federação da Agricultura do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul), Alberto Bins [pt] as secretary and Mário de Oliveira as secretary general.

[2] Alfredo Agache under direction from the mayor Alberto Bins had already proposed changes to the Redenção Park including landscaping, addition of a central road and a lake which were realised when the fair was planned.

[4] The park was renamed to Farroupilha Park the day before the fair opened,[4] and the fair occupied 250,000 square metres (25 ha)[5][2] Some Brazilian states had their own pavilions: Pernambuco (designed by Luiz Nunes),[6][7] São Paulo, Santa Catarina, Paraná, Pará and Amazonas (shared), Minas Gerais Pavilion and the Federal District (then Rio de Janeiro).

[8] There were theme pavilions: agriculture, foreign industries and railway companies,[7] as well as buildings for entertainment: a casino, restaurant and coffee bar.

[2] There was an amusement park with a rowing lake (the dock of which was retained and in use as a cafe in 2010), a Lotto pavilion, tobogganing[2] and a rollercoaster.
