From May 8 to 10, the most popular shopping malls in Buenos Aires and the suburbs are celebrating Shopping Fest, an opportunity to shop for less and find discounts and installment plans on all the products you want. But since it’s a festival, it’s not just about shopping with discounts and saving money in May —it’s also about enjoying live music, DJ sets, shows, activities, and special promotions while you’re out shopping.
What is Shopping Fest and Why You Should Go
Shopping Fest is the first national edition of a mega-event organized by the Argentine Chamber of Shopping Centers, bringing together more than 60 shopping malls, outlets, and shopping arcades from across the country with special promotions, installment plans, and activities.
But the phenomenon isn’t just about shopping, because many of the participating venues will offer experiences designed to keep you entertained all day long. At many of the malls joining Shopping Fest, you’ll be able to enjoy—between shopping trips— live music, dining options, games, activities for kids, immersive experiences, and special brand promotions.
