Since 1980, the Immigrant's Party was held in the Municipal Sports Complex Ian Barney, given by the municipality for this event. With the passing of the years, the party acquired popularity at provincial and national level, being nowadays the most important celebration of the province of Misiones. With the growing popularity, the number of visitors was also increasing, leaving the Municipal Complex small. So after 17 editions held in that place, in 1998, the festival was moved to the Park of Nations, which receives more than 120,000 visitors per edition.
