Caacupé 2026: how to watch the feast of the Virgin live

Every December 8, Paraguay's largest pilgrimage fills Caacupé for the feast of the Virgin. The 2026 programme hasn't been published yet; here is how the day usually runs and where it streams live.

When it is

The feast is on Tuesday, December 8, 2026. In 2025 the novena began on November 28, and the central Mass, led by Bishop Ricardo Valenzuela, was at 06:00 on December 8 (09:00 UTC), with more Masses at 07:00 and 19:00. Paraguay is on UTC−3 all year.

How many pilgrims

There is no official count. For 2025, Paraguay's Ministry of Health planned for about two million pilgrims, and the bishop spoke of at least five million.

Where to watch it live

The Basilica's own YouTube channel, Basílica Santuario de Caacupé, streams Masses every day and streamed the December 8 Mass live in 2024 and 2025. Paraguayan radio stations such as Ñanduti and Monumental stream their coverage too, and Skywall's Caacupé wall puts them side by side.
