This weekend, the city is in full “don’t stay home” mode: music to make you feel it, streets to wander, flavors to discover, and plans that mix art, history, neighborhood vibes and good food. If you were looking for excuses to break the routine, plan something different or simply get blown away by original ideas, this guide will get you ready to enjoy from the afternoon until late at night.

1. Massacre at Teatro Flores

This Saturday at 7 PM, at Teatro Flores —that legendary Buenos Aires venue that has welcomed countless icons— Massacre takes the stage with their Viaje Astral 2025 tour, presenting their latest album Nueve: a record that blends the band’s signature power with new textures, surprising collaborations and the artistic direction of Gustavo Santaolalla.

If you’re into reliving classics, listening to new songs —and feeling that sweet mix of nostalgia and novelty live— this show is one of those that stay with you for a while.

Where: Av. Rivadavia 7806.

2. Te Conozco Chacarita

Chacarita puts on its best look for the first edition of Te Conozco Chacarita, a festival inviting you to walk, discover and rediscover every corner of the neighborhood. This Saturday from 4 PM, the map fills up with themed walks, workshops, talks, photo outings and a food circuit ranging from classic cafés to those bodegones that never fail. More than 80 cultural spaces, bars, artists, designers and writers take to the streets to showcase everything that makes this neighborhood so full of stories.

The proposal is a real journey through memory, creativity and everyday life: neighbors opening their family albums, videomapping lighting up the neighborhood’s history, open workshops, collective singing and a rock-filled closing event at Rodney, with live radio and that unique vibe only Chacarita can offer. It’s a self-managed festival, made by and for the neighborhood, where every creator added their own touch to build a collective celebration of who we were, who we are and everything we can be together. If you were looking for a plan with style, you just found it.

Tip: admission is free. You can check the full schedule through this link.

Where: Various locations around the neighborhood.

3. Gnocchi Day at Funga

Funga does it again: as every 29th, mushrooms take the spotlight. The Colegiales restaurant —the one that turned oyster mushrooms, shiitakes and lion’s mane into true stars— celebrates gnocchi tradition with a special dish that’s bound to become the day’s craving: potato gnocchi in a fresh green sauce with peas, lion’s mane, shiitakes, lemon and an organic sardo cheese that adds that final touch that makes you close your eyes. A seasonal, fragrant combination that’s true to the spirit of the place: simplicity, great produce and bold character.

And since a visit to Funga always calls for a toast, the ideal pairing might be a glass of organic wine from their selection or a 500 ml jar of vermouth—perfect to share and let the afternoon flow.

Tip: reservations can be made through this link.

Where: Zapiola 1375, Colegiales.

4. Animated Films & Live Music at Morán

Between stop motion, animated oddities and a good dose of artistic rebellion, Videodromo brings a unique trip through Soviet and Eastern European animation to Morán. Works born under censorship, created by artists who used animation as a trench: from the hypnotic softness of Karel Zeman to the sharp metaphors of Jirí Trnka, the beautiful madness of Svankmajer and the magical textures of Vyacheslav Belov.

And as if the visuals weren’t enough, the screening includes live music to elevate the experience even more: percussion, piano, strings and winds interacting with every frame like a secret choreography. The screening, this Sunday from 8:30 PM, blends film, experimentation and sensitivity into a single nighttime ritual.

Tip: tickets are available on Passline.

Where: Pedro Moran 2147.
