This year, the corsos in the city of Buenos Aires will be celebrated in different neighborhoods, with dates ranging from February 3 to March 4. In places like Nueva Pompeya, Villa Urquiza, Villa Crespo, Palermo, Liniers, and others, parades and festivities will take place for the city's residents.
In each of these locations, the corsos will feature the presence of comparsas, murgas, and groups that will fill the streets with music and color. Some highlights include Avenida La Plata, Avenida Triunvirato, Avenida Scalabrini Ortiz, and several more, where residents can enjoy the traditional celebration of carnival.
Throughout these days, the porteños will have the opportunity to experience the joy and tradition of the corsos in various parts of the city. From Villa Lugano to Villa Pueyrredón, passing through Flores, Caballito, and other neighborhoods, this popular festival that is part of the porteño identity can be enjoyed.
The murgas and comparsas, filled with symbols and colors, will parade through streets like Avenida Fernández de la Cruz, Avenida Mosconi, and Avenida Juan Bautista Alberdi, among others. This celebration, which has its roots in popular festivities, is an opportunity for neighbors to gather and celebrate together.
However, this year the number of corsos in the streets has been reduced, opting to hold some in plazas and closed sports complexes. Despite these limitations, residents will still be able to enjoy the essence of the porteño carnival and be part of this ancient tradition that dates back to 1869, when the first corso was celebrated on Avenida de Mayo.
Despite the restrictions and changes in the organization of the corsos, the celebration of carnival in the city of Buenos Aires remains an opportunity to honor the murguera tradition and enjoy the music, dance, and joy that characterize this festival.
