Expo San José, recognized as the most important dairy cattle exhibition in Uruguay, will celebrate its 80th edition from October 10-13, 2024. This event, which will be held at the Exhibition Grounds of the San José Rural Association (ARSJ), promises once again to be a vital meeting point for producers, consumers and lovers of the countryside. With an extensive program of activities ranging from livestock exhibitions to musical shows, the expo seeks to highlight the agricultural and cultural richness of the region.
More than just an exhibition
The organization has prepared a diverse program that goes beyond the traditional cattle exhibition. Among the most relevant activities are talks on challenges in the agrifood chain, cattle breed exhibitions, auctions, and a dairy lunch that will bring together producers and visitors. In addition, there will be a discussion with presidential candidates from different political parties, where crucial issues for the rural sector will be addressed. This space is presented as an opportunity for citizens to hear the proposals of leaders who could influence the future of agriculture in the country.
The expo will begin on October 10 with the entry of animals and the Rabbit Jury, giving way to a series of activities that will intensify during the following days. From artistic demonstrations such as "Chainsaw Art" to a rotisserie championship that promises to be a culinary spectacle, the agenda is designed to appeal to diverse audiences.
Music and culture on a magnificent stage
One of the main attractions of Expo San José are the musical shows. This year, the stage will feature national artists such as Carlos Alberto Rodríguez, Puro Chamuyo, Luana, among others. The variety of genres and styles promises to keep attendees entertained during each day. In addition, the closing of the event on Sunday, October 13 will feature performances by dance and music groups that reflect the local culture.
The music is complemented by the artisan entrepreneurs' fair, where local products ranging from food to handicrafts can be purchased, thus promoting the regional economy and supporting local producers. With the participation of the Departmental Intendancy, the aim is to highlight the value of artisan work in San José.
Commitment to visitors in terms of safety and services
The organization of Expo San José has placed special emphasis on the safety and well-being of visitors. Security measures will be implemented around the event, with guarded parking and a mobile medical emergency service available during the four days. In addition, a mobile mammography service will be offered, promoting health and prevention among attendees.
The organizers have also planned a family-friendly environment, with activities for children organized jointly with the San José Young Men's Christian Association. In this way, the expo is intended to be a space for intergenerational encounters, where both children and adults can enjoy and learn about the world of agriculture.
An event that attracts great popular attention
The 80th Expo San José not only celebrates dairy production, but also stands as a symbol of Uruguay's rural identity. The combination of educational, cultural and entertainment activities promises to make this event a landmark for locals and visitors alike.
As a meeting point between agricultural tradition and modernity, the expo represents a space where ties are built and the roots of the countryside are strengthened.
