Pride Month 2026: The Best Ways to Celebrate in Buenos Aires

Maricafé opened its doors in 2018 thanks to activist Pablo Terrera, with the clear goal of creating a space where culture, art, gastronomy, and the LGBTQ+ community could coexist naturally. From the famous Maricabus Lali to “La Mundiala,” featuring broadcasts of Argentina’s national football team with drag performances during halftime, its programming offers something for everyone. On June 28, Maricafé will host a special Pride Month celebration featuring DJs, tarot readings, and guest performers.

One of its signature creations is the Rainbow Cake, a dessert that represents Pride all year long. More than 16 tons have been sold, and alongside the classic version there are editions inspired by the trans, lesbian, and bear pride flags.
