An impromptu jam session on the corner of Defensa and Mexico in the ever-expanding San Telmo Fair.
San Telmo is widely known as Buenos Aires’ hippie haven. The San Telmo Street Fair (not to be confused with the San Telmo Market) is one of Buenos Aires top attractions.
The free music on offer ranges from professional tango orchestras, to walking Candombe troupes, and spontaneous pick-up-a-drum-any-drum jam sessions like the one above.
Visitors can also enjoy a wide variety of street performers, and indoor and outdoor milongas. Check out our city tours to explore San Telmo with a local guide, or dive into San Telmo’s tango scene with a milonga tour.
