Carnival 2026 is being celebrated across various neighborhoods in the western region of Argentina, particularly in municipalities like La Matanza, Ituzaingó, Moreno, Merlo, Tres de Febrero, and San Miguel. From this weekend and throughout February, these areas will host a wide array of free activities, including parades, live music, and cultural events designed for families. The events reflect strong community involvement and feature local groups showcasing their talents.

In La Matanza, the festivities kicked off with the 'Carnavales en tu Barrio' initiative, which will run until February 16 and involves a series of celebrations across different locations in the district. The previous Saturday's events were held in Virrey del Pino and Manzanares, with upcoming activities scheduled for Rafael Castillo, Aldo Bonzi, Atalaya, Gregorio de Laferrere, and Tapiales. Each carnival day includes traditional murga parades, allowing local residents to come together and participate in the enjoyment of the festivities.

These local celebrations not only provide entertainment but also strengthen community ties and promote cultural expressions in the neighborhoods. With the involvement of various local organizations and groups, Carnaval 2026 is a testament to the lively social fabric of Argentina's western districts, fostering a sense of belonging and community pride among the residents as they prepare to continue the joyous celebrations in the weeks to come.
