Immigrant's Festival

[citation needed] The festival was first conceived in 1979 and, as of that date, the annual National Celebration of the Immigrant has been organized by the Federation of Collectivity.

[citation needed] The annual festival takes place during the first fortnight of each September at Parque de las Naciones ("Nation's Park"), an estate that consists of approximately 10 hectares (1,100,000 sq ft); each group is provided with its own house.

[citation needed] French, German, Danish, Swedish, Finnish, Norwegian, Swiss, Icelandic, Italian, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, Spanish, Japanese, Brazilian, Paraguayan, Arab (Lebanese and Syrian), and Peruvian collectivities were all represented at the 28th edition of the festival.

As part of the 2005 spectacles, artists of national repute, such Árbol, Turf, Airbag, Memphis la Blusera, Soledad Pastorutti, and invited singers from neighbouring countries like Paraguay and Brazil will appear in the Norgus Jacob—such performances will be in addition to the ballet groups and the collectivities.

The parade involved more than fifteen collectivities dressed in traditional wardrobe—some of the participating nations were France, Germany, Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Iceland, Italy, Poland, Russia, Spain, Japan, Brazil, Paraguay, Arab, Peru, and Norway.
