During the Surubí National Festival, there is a very special moment in which all voices join into cheering up the key event: the starting line.
But the idea is that everyone should be able to fish. Therefore, after the official start, some bus motorboats get ready at the floating dock (famous and identified with the City of
Goya) to take some fishermen to the islands.
The Same Old Festival, Year After Year Every time, more and more participants join this popular sport fishing festival. Another one is the Dorado National Festival, which also takes place by the Paraná River, in Paso de la Patria. However, the
Surubí Festival has some characteristics that make it unique.
Fishing at night is an extra attraction for any fisherman. The river is in complete silence, and it is only altered by soft splashes made by the surubí when hunting. This is well known by fishermen, who in groups of three and on motorboats, develop the right techniques to win the contest. During the last few years, there has been a raising expectation and many important trademarks have become sponsors of this popular festival. And as the famous song goes, “Goya is waiting for you, foreign fisherman, in its Surubí National Festival…" every time there are more outsiders who come to enjoy this festival, not only from this country but also from all round the world.
