Buenos Aires Carnival

The Buenos Aires Carnival is an annual event that takes place on the streets of Buenos Aires, Argentina, during the Carnival festivities, generally towards the end of February. The Buenos Aires Carnival is one of the most famous festivals in Argentina. It takes place over a long weekend and includes events such as water bombs, traditional rituals, and murga parades, among others. The Murga procession is the most popular event.

The Carnavales on Avenida de Mayo (de Mayo Avenue) were immensely popular in the twentieth century, but they were eventually phased out, first during military rule in the 1970s and subsequently in the 1990s. In the mid-2000s, Mayor Anbal Ibarra advocated the restoration of carnival (mostly in the barrios), and the Avenida de Mayo spectacle was revived in 2006.

Murga is a type of music performed at Argentine carnivals. It is done by dancers performing acrobatic acrobatics and rhythmically banging percussive instruments. If you wish to learn about the country's colonial heritage, join it.
