Between the amphitheater of the pier Schuster and the Fluvial Fair swarms about 150,000 visitors who participate in the recitals and cross the different craft stalls to take some souvenir.The last night of the Valdivian week is the most anticipated. All meet on the waterfront to appreciate the river corso and the spectacle of fireworks that has as its main stage the street Calle Calle.

The Fiesta de la Vendimia is a religious and deeply cultural festival celebrates the grape harvest and arrival of the summer.
The first part of the festival is a religious ceremony, blessing the arrival of the first grape harvest. It is during the second part of the festival that the festival comes into its own with traditional singing and dancing and the eagerly awaited choosing of the Festival Queen.
One of the most lively and entertaining elements of the festival is the grape pulping competition, where teams compete against each other to press as much juice as possible within a set time, combined with plenty of encouragement from all around.
There is also no shortage of food and drink with several Chilean classics on the menu and drinks such as Pisco, Borgona which is a wine drink that is mixed with fruit and of course a healthy wine selection as well
