25 DE MAYO

May 25 is the anniversary of the May Revolution of 1810, when Argentina's first autonomous government was established (La Primera Junta). This public holiday is of the utmost importance, since the May Revolution led to Argentina's independence. Between military parades and religious festivities, the whole country comes alive. Buenos Aires is the place to be to make the most of the organized events: it's here that the festivities are in full swing. In 2022, the country celebrated 212 years of commemoration.
