What to Do in Buenos Aires in February

Pepe Cibrián has done it again. Or rather: he’s doing it again. Aquí no podemos hacerlo (Here We Can’t Do It) returns to the stage as Argentina’s first great musical—a myth born in 1978 that challenged the defeatist phrase “you can’t do it here.” Directed by Cibrián with original music, this show is like a song that never goes out of style: it’s about believing when everyone says no, and making real what others thought was impossible.

Running at Teatro Regina every Saturday from February 7 to March 14 at 8pm, the show remains a manifesto of spirit and passion for local talent: a space where young performers find their place, fears turn into art, and music and words intertwine with the faith to make the unthinkable possible.

Good to know: Tickets for all performances are available at this link.

Where: Av. Sta. Fe 1235.

February arrives and Colegiales turns into the perfect spot to eat well and enjoy the outdoors. On Saturday the 7th and Sunday the 8th, from 5pm to 11pm, Festi Vegano takes over Plaza Clemente with more than 40 100% vegan options, food trucks, a plant-based market, sustainable design, natural cosmetics and everything that makes conscious consumption feel right.

But Festi Vegano is much more than food: there will be live music, talks, activities for kids and adults, gardening workshops and a great atmosphere whether you go with friends, family or just for a stroll. Animal protection NGOs will also be there to raise awareness and share their work.

Good to know: Free admission.

Where: Enrique Martínez between Concepción Arenal and Av. Dorrego, Colegiales.

On February 24, bartenders around the world are celebrated—the alchemists behind the bar who make us travel with just one sip. On this special day, we invite you to visit a bar in the city, try a different cocktail and toast those who always encourage us to explore new combinations.

At Hierro, mixology has a name: Santiago Lambardi. With a career that began in 2001 and a distinctive mark on the local scene—yes, he’s the creator of the iconic Cynar Julep—Lambardi presents a menu where fire, Buenos Aires identity and thoughtful cocktails come together. Fresh ingredients, house-made syrups and precise combinations give life to drinks with their own stories, inspired by lunfardo and popular culture, like Atorrante, Piola or El Chanta.

At Tanta—the contemporary Peruvian criollo restaurant created by Gastón Acurio—Hugo de la Silva leads the bar and defines its cocktail identity. Heading the team, De la Silva treats each cocktail as an extension of the kitchen: respecting Peruvian tradition, prioritizing fresh ingredients and working with precise techniques to achieve balance.
