Like many other fairs in Buenos Aires, it is an open market filled with exotic and artisanal products, and occurs every Sunday. In some cases, the Feria de Mataderos has had over 700 stands selling these goods, with around 15,000 people (locals and tourists alike) experiencing the fair. At the fair you can expect to see mate, clothing, jewlrey, musical instruments, art, and handmade goods. Along with the crafts, the Feria also has a good selection of food, with stands offering empanadas, choripan, locro, and more. While you eat, you’ll likely be able to see a cultural show, such as regional music and dance or displays of gaucho (or cowboy) related abilities. What separates the Feria de Mataderos from the other fairs you might come across is the authenticity. Only a small percentage of tourists make their way to the fair, making it a mostly unaltered experience of the culture. This also affects the entire atmosphere, as the locals are frequently as excited to be there as the tourists. This energy and authenticity is what makes the fair such a great destination. Whether you’re interested in shopping, eating, or just absorbing the culture, the Feria de Mataderos is a great event to attend.  Item changed by user 39 at 2019-07-02 11:53:29.Created manually by user
