Festa da Uva

Festa da Uva is a celebration of Italian heritage and culture held bienally in Caxias do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul, in southern Brazil. The Festa da Uva is held in February of every even-numbered year. During the Festa da Uva, the Caxias do Sul pavilions host attractions mainly from South America, but also from other regions of the world. Visitors taste cheese, grapes and various Brazilian wines. The large crowds also draw independent vendors that rent out booths to promote local-themed products from the southern gaúcho state.
