This Saturday, November 14, Buenos Aires opens up one of its most charming neighborhoods so you can explore it from the inside, stroll through its workshops, and even visit the cemetery to discover much more than what’s visible from the outside. Here’s how to join the second edition of the “Te conozco Chacarita” Festival—an afternoon when the entire neighborhood opens its doors to show off its best side.
This festival in Chacarita is a self-organized event and the perfect excuse to immerse yourself in Chacarita’s irresistible blend: history, movie-worthy architecture, and a culinary and cultural hub that just keeps growing.
What You’ll Find at This Festival Dedicated to Chacarita
The schedule is incredibly ambitious: more than 150 simultaneous activities spread throughout the neighborhood. The hub will be an iconic location: the Bus 39 terminal (3943 Jorge Newbery Ave.), which will be transformed into a venue for music shows, photography exhibitions, and storytelling.
But the real charm lies in walking around. Here are the must-see stops on the tour to discover the neighborhood as if you lived there:
- Architectural tourism and mystery: guided tours of Buenos Aires gems such as the Los Andes neighborhood, Pasaje Olleros, the Anconetani Accordion Museum, and, of course, the Chacarita Cemetery.
- “Chaca y Vino” Tour: The ideal option for foodies. You buy a glass at the start of the tour and can get refills at different bars throughout the neighborhood as you walk.
- Art in motion: Singing lessons, swing dancing in the streets, theatrical tours, and themed walks through bookstores and design galleries.
Te Conozco Chacarita: A Neighborhood That’s More Alive Than Ever
The festival, which was launched in 2025 by photographer and local resident Bárbara Prajs, aims to do just that: “highlight the diversity that characterizes Chacarita,” bringing together its artists, artisans, and culinary offerings in one big urban celebration.
From key hotspots of the current scene, such as Dumont 4040, Galpón de Guevara, or Salgado Alimentos—where some of Buenos Aires’ best plays are staged—to traditional neighborhood spots, they all come together so you can experience the neighborhood from the inside.
Of course, admission is free.
