Festa da Uva (Ponta Grossa)

The Grape, Honey, Cheese, Ham and Handicraft Festival (Portuguese: Festa da Uva, Mel, Queijos, Fiambre e do Artesanato, Fesuva) is a fair of agro-regional production in the Brazilian city of Ponta Grossa, in the state of Paraná.

[1][2] The first Festa da Uva dos Campos Gerais, as it was called, took place in 1982, on the 30th and 31st of January, at Benjamin Constant Street in Ponta Grossa.

The purpose of the festival was to encourage local wine producers and pay tribute to the region's Italian immigrants.

[3] From the fifth edition, in 1986, the fair left Benjamin Constant and began to be held at the Praça Barão do Rio Branco, where it remained until 1993 when it was moved to the Events Center for the public's comfort.

Since 1997, Fesuva has been held annually in the Governador Manoel Ribas Environmental Complex, next to the Saudade Station.
