While the rest of the country gears up for Carnival, the city of Pedro Osório in the southern Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul is having a different kind of celebration: a watermelon festival.
In the eighth annual edition of the festival, watermelon producers sell fresh fruit to the public, as well as the many products that can be made from watermelon, including several types of candy, sauce, ice cream, and liquor. The fresh watermelons range from 10 to 12 kilos.
Rio Grande do Sul is the number one producer of watermelon in Brazil, but suffered this year due to a drought. As a result, there was a smaller crop, but the quality and taste of the crop was still excellent.
