Recoleta Events Calendar 2027

Counted once per event, with a run counted on the day it closes: three in January — the tango festival and two shows ending on the 17th — eight more across February, March, April, May, August and September, and five months with nothing published yet. Everything below is a fixed date; the months that have none say so instead of guessing.

Recoleta has no year-long program. The big fairs — the Book Fair, BAFICI, arteBA — publish a year ahead; the museums announce a show when they hang it; the city's one-off nights and the Centro Cultural Recoleta's season appear a few weeks before they fall. So this page is a record of what is fixed today and of what is still open. For the 2026 series, see the 2026 events calendar.

The dates to fix now

• January 13–18 — Argentina Tango Salón Festival, six days across two venues, opening night at Cátulo Tango.
• January 17 — the last day of Goya and of Susana Rodríguez at the Bellas Artes.
• February 11–13 — Festival ElectroTango Buenos Aires, Teatro José Verdi, La Boca.
• February 14 — the Macciò retrospective closes at the Bellas Artes.
• March 15 — Viva Frida closes at Malba.
• April 7–18 — BAFICI 28, city-wide.
• April 22–May 10 — the 51st Book Fair at La Rural, Spain guest of honor.
• August 22 — the Buenos Aires half marathon.
• September 8–12 — arteBA 2027 at La Rural.
• September 19 — the Buenos Aires marathon.

Pair any of these with the cemetery itself: it is open daily 9:00 AM–5:00 PM, and free guided tours leave the main gate every hour — 10:00 AM–4:00 PM on weekdays, 9:00 AM–4:00 PM on weekends and on public holidays (Junín 1760). See Recoleta Cemetery tours.

Standing exhibitions

Four exhibitions run across more than one month, so each is stated once here rather than repeated in the month sections below. The three Bellas Artes shows are free, by voluntary contribution, and the museum is open Tuesday–Friday 11:00 AM–7:30 PM, Saturday–Sunday 10:00 AM–7:30 PM.

• Goya en Buenos Aires. Tapices de las Colecciones Reales de España — Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, ground floor, Av. del Libertador 1473, Recoleta. September 22, 2026 – January 17, 2027. Two large tapestries from the Spanish royal collections, La cometa and La gallina ciega, on their first showing in the Americas. More: Recoleta museums guide · Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes
• Susana Rodríguez. Historia íntima — Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, second floor, Av. del Libertador 1473, Recoleta. October 21, 2026 – January 17, 2027. Forty works from the 1970s and 1980s. It closes on the same Sunday as the Goya tapestries downstairs, so one visit before the 17th covers both — and neither charges admission. More: Recoleta museums guide · Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes
• Rómulo Macciò. La pintura como destino. Obras 1960–2016 — Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, Pabellón de exposiciones temporarias, Av. del Libertador 1473, Recoleta. November 7, 2026 – February 14, 2027. More than 50 works from 1960 to 2016, curated by Florencia Battiti. The last of the three Bellas Artes shows to close: Susana Rodríguez and Goya are both gone by January 17, so this one runs another four weeks.

• Viva Frida — Malba — Malba, Level 2, Av. Figueroa Alcorta 3415, Palermo. September 20, 2026 – March 15, 2027. The first Frida Kahlo exhibition in South America, in Malba's 25th-anniversary year, with lenders including the Museo Frida Kahlo. Admission is charged, and Malba closes on Tuesdays, not Mondays, so the 15th is a last day you can actually visit. More: Recoleta museums guide · Malba
