Every March 17th, the most important day in its calendar, Ireland celebrates its patron saint, Saint Patrick. This special date will be celebrated once again with a big Fair and Parade in Buenos Aires.

The Saint Patrick's Parade will start at Av. del Libertador & Maipu at 4:00 pm to finish at Plaza San Martin, where Irish music groups will be presenting their traditional dances and music on the main stage.

Visitors are encouraged to wear green for the occassion.

 

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.
