Buenos Aires is preparing to welcome the Year of the Fire Horse with one of the most anticipated events in the local cultural calendar. The celebrations are organized by the Argentine Chinese Community Association and the Federation of Reunification of China in Argentina, featuring a wide range of activities that blend ancient traditions with modern innovations.

The official start of the lunar new year is set for Tuesday, February 17, 2026, but festivities will begin earlier. A structured schedule will take place over four consecutive days, coinciding with the long Carnival weekend. On Sunday, February 8, a major event will occur in Plaza de los Parques Nacionales Argentinos, showcasing traditional dances, artistic performances, typical gastronomy, and other engaging activities for the community.

The events aim to celebrate cultural heritage while inviting public participation, reflecting Buenos Aires' diverse and vibrant society. This year’s celebration is expected to draw large crowds, fostering community spirit, and highlighting the importance of cultural festivals in promoting cross-cultural understanding and cohesion within the city.
