Mataderos Circuit (Mataderos Fair Market)
Mataderos Fair
This fair was created in 1986 as a space to show handicrafts and promote Argentine popular traditions. It is located opposite to the National Market of Cattle, a historic monument, between Lisandro de la Torre street and De los Corrales avenue. You may find a wide variety of stands surrounding the Resero monument. This market is divided into three areas: traditional handicrafts, artistic festivals and gaucho abilities. Different activities are organized, such as lectures, exhibitions, videos, competitions, traditional games for kids and adults, popular dances and regional food. The exhibition of gaucho abilities includes "jineteadas" (similar to a rodeo), "doma" (horsebreaking) and "carrera de sortijas" (a horse race). Free workshops of weaving loom, guitar, wood engraving, folklore and tango dance, among others, are also organized. Every Sunday since 1:30 pm, you may see folklore shows.
