Springtime day in Buenos Aires

As you may know, here in the southern hemisphere, every September 21st we celebrate the Spring Day or Día de la Primavera, as it is the beginning of the spring season but here in Buenos Aires it is also known as the youth’s day or student day where all students from elementary school to high school students will skip classes and go out to parks all across the city in order to gather with friends and picnic. The celebrations are supported by the local government under the slogan “Welcome spring, enjoy it without alcohol”.

If you’re a tourist in this beautiful city on a day like this and you want to see the Argentineans’ way to receive the spring, it is recommended to visit the Palermo area, or at least the Palermo woods area, where you will see all sort of celebrations, people relaxing on the shaded areas, sporting, singing or just taking a walk around to celebrate the first sunny days in the city,

Buenos Aires is well known for its strong cultural life; therefore any special date is always an opportunity to celebrate. So if you don’t mind about the hordes of youngsters strolling around the area, you can take advantage of this day and go to a free concert with local bands like Los Cafres, La Mosca, Airbag and many more. It takes places in San Benito Park, located in Avenida Figueroa Alcorta and La Pampa Street. Click here to view location.

This year’s spring day excellent weather conditions are a great chance to enjoy the city in a different way: instead of the regular bus tour you could try a bike tour to Tigre and San Isidro or a walking tour through the Recoleta and Palermo area or take a walk on Sunday in La Costanera Sur in Puerto Madero where you will find also crowds of locals celebrating this spring festival in Buenos Aires.

Besides spring day and student day September 21st is also Argentina’s photographer day so you can prepare yourself for the FIBA (Festival Internacional de Buenos Aires), from September 24th to October 8th, which will gather all sort of new artistic expressions in theatre, dance, visual arts and music.
