What to Do This Weekend in Buenos Aires

This Saturday and Sunday, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., the French Fair returns with all the magic of spring to fill Palermo with irresistible aromas, live music, and the unmistakable charm of French flavors. For two days, more than 40 stands will offer a true gastronomic journey: from freshly baked baguettes and artisanal cheeses to the classic crêpes, quiches, and macarons that make any food lover swoon.

But this fair is more than just a feast of flavors — it’s the perfect plan to enjoy outdoors, surrounded by laughter, picnics, and activities for the whole family. There will be cooking masterclasses, talks, activities for kids, and an atmosphere as warm as a walk through Montmartre in spring.

Where: Av. Iraola & Av. Sarmiento (in front of the Monumento de los Españoles).

This proposal invites you to rediscover the city on two wheels. It’s an experience that combines movement, curiosity, and observation, touring Buenos Aires through thematic routes that reveal its architecture, history, and urban layout from a new perspective. Each guided ride encourages you to look at the everyday with new eyes — buildings, parks, corners, and even trees tell a different story when you see them at bike pace.

OPEN BICI is part of and accompanies OPEN HOUSE, one of the country’s most important architecture and urbanism events. You can check the different routes and schedules at this link. One option is Buenos Aires Skyscrapers, a tour through the downtown area that explores panoramic spots and iconic towers that shaped the city’s skyline. This one departs Sunday at 11 a.m. from Plaza Provincia de Mendoza.

Good to know: All tours are free and take place this Saturday and Sunday at various times.

Where: Multiple locations around the city.

The Feria del Productor al Consumidor (better known as the Agronomía Fair) is much more than its name suggests — it’s a celebration of flavor, community, and the earth. Each edition brings together over 180 producers, cooks, and artisans who believe in doing things differently: without intermediaries, with fresh, fair products full of history. Fruits, breads, cheeses, sweets, beers, preserves, textiles, and countless delights fill the stalls in an atmosphere that mixes the best of the countryside with urban energy. If you love good food, care for the planet, and want to support local work, this is your plan.

There’s also a stage with live music, workshops, and talks. Open this Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. We recommend going early — it’s a big fair — and bringing your own tote bag or cart.

Good to know: Admission is free. You can check the full list of participating producers at this link.

Where: Av. San Martín 4453, Agronomía.

The classic by Soviet composer, pianist, and conductor Sergei Prokofiev returns to Teatro Colón — but this time, the Wolf has something to say. In this renewed version of Peter and the Wolf, the story flips, and the Wolf becomes the narrator, telling his side of the tale. Through symphonic melodies, dance, and stunning visuals, the story comes to life thanks to the Academic Orchestra and talented students from the Teatro Colón’s Superior Institute of Art. A unique experience to rediscover the magic of classical music with a modern, humorous twist.
