Jirgs
Held for the first time in 1967, the Jirgs are one of the most traditional multi-sport competitions in the State. The objective of the competition is to promote integration between municipalities in Rio Grande do Sul, mobilizing cities in favor of high-performance sports. The Municipality’s Department of Sports and Leisure is responsible for organizing the games. The State government will pay for accommodation and food for visiting delegations, as well as food for local teams.
