Origins and Recognition of National Pollo a la Brasa Day

National Pollo a la Brasa Day was established by the Ministry of Culture of Peru through a ministerial resolution issued on June 22, 2010. This resolution set the third Sunday of July as the day to celebrate this dish, which has been delighting palates in Peruvian gastronomy for over 60 years. The decision was based on the fact that Pollo a la Brasa has become one of the favorite dishes among Peruvians, solidifying its place at the table and in the hearts of the people.
