Chamamé, music and dance of the Litoral, was declared Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO in 2020. Mburucuyá hosts the National Festival of Authentic Traditional Chamamé, devoted to the roots of the genre and far from the scale of the big festivals.
The festival was born on November 22, 1945 on the 'La Querencia' stage, when accordionist Eustaquio Miño and 'Tito' Miqueri called the local musicians to celebrate the day of Santa Cecilia, patron saint of music. In 2006 the festival held its first national edition. Today it takes place during three nights at the Eustaquio Miño Amphitheater, on the shores of Laguna Limpia, on the 'Tito Miqueri' stage.
It is the land of great chamameceros, like Salvador 'Gigante' Miqueri, whose legacy the town keeps alive every summer.
