9th July is the Argentine Declaration of Independence

This is one of Argentina’s biggest national celebrations, el DIA DE LA INDEPENDENCIA!

All over the country, in every city, town, and village, residents come outside and spend the day celebrating their countries independence though music, dance, ceremony, and festivities.

On July 9th of 1816, the Congress of Tucuman officially declared Argentina’s independence from Spain (in fact it was not even considered a country yet), and therefore severing all political ties between Argentina and Spain. This date also serves as the final date of voting in which the Congress of Tucuman decided, after much debate, to break away from Imperial control and move independently towards absolute self-rule. These two very special events in the realization of Argentina’s independence is why this national holiday is so celebrated throughout the country and why it is also referred to as Argentina’s day of birth.

Argentinian celebrate with a national holiday, ceremonies, outdoor festivities, music and dance. In Buenos Aires, there is a ceremony held every year where thousands gather to celebrate this holiday together, as well as personal traditions such as spending the day together, celebrating with friends, hanging flags of apartment balconies, honking, etc.

Make sure to attent this Argentinian night, bring an Argentine flag if you have one, and celebrate with us in Argentine style.

Argentinian Empanadas and Wine available.
