The Palau Festival 2026 will bring two nights of concerts, BMX and freestyle soccer exhibitions and Christian preaching to Plaza Pedro Viñas in Villa María, Argentina, on Nov. 13-14.
The event is part of the Luis Palau Association’s festival series. It is organized by the New Generation of Evangelists (Nueva Generación de Evangelistas, NGE) together with local evangelical churches. The square is at the corner of Entre Ríos and Mitre streets.
The festivals combine concerts, sports exhibitions and activities for the whole family with a message of Christian faith. In Villa María, the event runs under the slogan “Good Music and Good News.”
“One message, many expressions.” That is how Jonatan Proietti, director of the NGE for Ibero-America and of the Luis Palau Association for Latin America, summed up the festivals’ approach in earlier remarks to Diario Cristiano, Christian Daily International’s Spanish edition, about the Palau Festival in Córdoba.
The main gatherings will begin at 7 p.m. on both Friday and Saturday. The lineup for the two nights includes the Christian rock band Rescate, Samu Robles, Mathew Hotton, the cuarteto group Los Descalzados, Chagy and DJ Galactus Jack. Cuarteto is a popular dance music genre from Argentina’s Córdoba province.
BMX and freestyle soccer exhibitions are also planned. Proietti and Paul Durham will share the message of good news.
On Saturday, the same square will host the Children’s Festival, with games, face painting, shows and prize drawings.
In the week leading up to the festival, evangelistic activities took place in Villa María and the surrounding region. The schedule included visits to schools and public institutions, meetings with business people and professionals, sports tournaments and the Expo para Mujeres (Women’s Expo).
Teams also went out for street evangelism in the mornings and afternoons. Organizers held gatherings they called “evangelistic impacts,” with activities for children and charitable outreach in public squares in Villa María and Oliva.
The festival’s Social Action team, made up of volunteers from various churches, is organizing food and toy distributions and a community clothing bank, the New Generation of Evangelists reported.
