The last month before classes start
February with kids will be anything but boring, even without a trip to the coast. Buenos Aires has a variety of options for all tastes and budgets. From weekend plans to places designed especially for the little ones.
Don’t forget to visit MIJU ( the museum of imagination and play), some of the trampoline parks around the city, or why not suggest a more terrifying plan to the little ones and visit the Buenos Aires Wax Museum.
Free outdoor jazz
Live jazz, outdoors and free of charge: the Jazzología series arrives in February at the terrace of the Centro Cultural 25 de Mayo, in Villa Urquiza, with concerts every Wednesday at 8:30 p.m.
A perfect plan for summer nights in Buenos Aires, ideal for discovering new artists, breaking with routine, and enjoying good music under the Buenos Aires sky.

Discover a palace and its concerts
This February, don’t miss out on discovering an imposing building through a series of candlelit concerts. The Centro Asturiano offers cultural events such as Candlelight concerts, which transform its historic halls into an intimate setting, illuminated by thousands of candles.
Refresh yourself, summer and the heat are still here
With the February heat in Buenos Aires, it’s vital to find ways to cool off. Explore the city’s fairs and markets or discover the public and private pools where you can spend the day and stay cool until sunset.
Experience Carnival 2026
If you don’t know what to do in February in Buenos Aires, Carnival is sure to be one of your plans. There will be murgas (street bands) on strategic avenues throughout the city, fairs and parades where you can dance in the heat, and various plans and activities in February designed so that this 2026 Carnival isn’t just a long weekend getaway.
February sunsets, best seen from up here
If you’re looking for things to do in February, watching the sunrise or sunset from the top of Buenos Aires is unbeatable. Add watching the sunset from one of the city’s best rooftop bars to your list of plans. There’s one for every day of the week and then some.
Celebrate Valentine’s Day
February 14 is Valentine’s Day, a day to celebrate with your special someone over a romantic dinner at one of Buenos Aires’ most beautiful restaurants, stroll through one of the city’s lovely gardens, or take advantage of romantic ideas to win someone over and start celebrating with them every Valentine’s Day.
February Food Fest at La Rural
A free surprise movie
Once a month, the Recoleta Cultural Center offers a plan that is as peculiar as it is tempting: a surprise movie screening in its auditorium, where the audience enters without knowing what film they are going to see.
The only clue is that the chosen film always maintains a link to the universe of Julio Cortázar. This February, the event returns with a new edition on February 22 at 6 p.m.
Admission is free, but you have to book on the EntradasBA website.

From the first colonial settlements to its consolidation as a major Latin American metropolis, this series of free guided walks offers a different way to get to know Buenos Aires, surrounded by people who are discovering it with the same curiosity.
If you’re looking for free, outdoor cultural activities in the city that are also a good excuse to meet people, this is the ideal plan. Check out the February schedule.
