Yes, this weekend it’s all about Argentina’s quarterfinals match against Switzerland. But there is life apart from the World Cup (apparently), and Independence Day on July 9 will offer a chance to catch some folklore concerts and traditional peñas, as well as steaming bowls of locro.
Once Thursday’s celebrations wind down, you can keep the momentum going before the match with acclaimed musicians, one-off restaurant pop-ups and a rare chance to revisit Richard Linklater’s beloved Before films on the big screen.
As always, the Herald’s got you covered.
