Inside the Magdalena party, just over an hour from La PlataVieytes turns out to be one of those cities in Buenos Aires that invite you to slow down and rediscover what’s important. With a rural character, a strong community identity and deep railway roots, the town is celebrating its 133rd anniversary this year – an ideal opportunity to discover its charm and take part in a festival open to the entire region.
The origins of Vieytes date back to 1892, with the introduction of the railway and the inauguration of the station, a circumstance that marked the growth of the city. Today, this historic building still retains its symbolic value and functions as a cultural meeting place, surrounded by old buildings that refer to the business life of other times.
Quiet streets, green spaces, a chapel that is part of the everyday landscape, and the friendly greeting of neighbors form a typical postcard picture of the inner life of Buenos Aires. Vieytes offers an authentic experience, ideal for those looking for local tourism, contact with history and simple proposals but full of identity.
This essence will be reflected on Saturday, December 27th, when the city celebrates its anniversary with a major festival. From 6:30 p.m., Plaza “Marta Eleta” will be the epicenter of a day designed to be enjoyed with the family, with a civic and traditional parade, cultural expressions and live music.
The artistic program includes the presentation of the Urban Dance Workshop, the show by Martín Fontana and a magnificent conclusion by Commanche – an evening that will attract both neighbors and visitors to the region.
In addition, the celebration will include a walk of artisans and entrepreneurs, food stalls and various leisure activities that will highlight local production and strengthen the city’s tourist profile.
With history, tranquility and a community that keeps its traditions alive, Vieytes has established itself as an ideal rural weekend getaway destination that combines past, present and celebration.
