Verbena y Fiesta de San Juan

The Fiesta de San Juan mixes Catholic devotion with Guaraní folk tradition across Paraguay each late June, marking the eve of St. John's Day. Celebrations include the 'toro candil' and 'pelota tata' fire games, and the striking tradition of walking barefoot across hot coals as an act of purification and spiritual renewal.
