The 2024 Buenos Aires Carnival (“Carnaval Porteño 2024”) will take place at different neighborhoods every weekend, from Saturday, February 3rd until Sunday, February 18th, and on Carnaval Holidays, Monday, February 12th and Tuesday, February 13th, with the participation of more than 100 "murgas" (carnival bands) and over one thousand dancers, drummers and percussionists.

Murgas and carnival are the artistic expressions of the marginal neighborhoods, their songs and urban folk customs. The lyrics of these songs are called "criticas", and combine the social denunciation with humor and dancing. What identifies the "murga porteña" from others are their costumes (frock coat, gloves, top hat, and stick), the drums with cymbals, and the various traditional rhythms used to differentiate every neighborhood.

The closing of the events will be on Monday, February 13th, with a big parade along Avenida de Mayo, between Bolivar and Av. 9 de Julio, from 3:00 PM to 10:00 PM (to be confirmed).

Pixar in Concert features great hits like “When She Loved Me” from Toy Story 2; “If I Didn't Have You” from Monsters INC. (Oscar® award winner for Best Original Song in 2001), “Le Festin” from Ratatouille; “Viento y Cielo Alcanzar” from Valiente, “Nobody Like You” from Red; and “Recuérdame” (Oscar® award winner for Best Original Song in 2018); “Un Poco Loco” and “El Latido de mi Corazón” from Coco, among others.

In addition, this show features more than twelve artists, including singers and dancers, and brings together several of Pixar's most iconic characters, including Buzz Lightyear, Woody and Merida.

Tickets are now on sale at Teatro Colón's box office (Tucumán 1171) and online here.

The Final of the 81st Argentine Pato (Horseball) Championship (Abierto Argentino de Pato), the most important tournament of this sport in Argentina, will take place on Saturday, December 9, 2023 at Campo Argentino de Polo in Palermo, at 4.00 PM, with the participation of the two best teams of our National Sport.

Pato (Horseball) is a traditional Argentine equestrian sport, practiced since the beginning of the XVII century, and declared as Argentina's National Sport in 1953. "Pato" is an exciting game that combines polo and basketball, and in which two teams made up of 4 players each, by a series of passes and combinations to elude their adversaries, try to introduce the "Pato" (Duck) through a vertical ring. The rings, located at the center of each end of the field, are 1 meter (3.3 ft) diameter, and are located on 2.4 m (7.9 ft) high poles. The "Pato" is a ball with six handles. The player that is in possession of the "Pato" must hold it and ride with his right arm extended, offering the rivals the opportunity to steal it.

Pato is a similar, but earlier version, of the game of Horseball played in France, Portugal, and other countries.

The Campo Argentino de Polo is located on Av. del Libertador & Dorrego, Palermo.
