Mar de Cobo Coastal Lamb Festival

The Provincial Coastal Lamb Festival will take place in the coastal town of Mar de Cobo. Three days of gastronomy, tradition, and family fun in a picturesque location on the Argentine coast.


Mar de Cobo Coastal Lamb Festival

The idea is for each visitor to be able to experience, try, and share a complete experience around coastal lamb, which has already become a distinctive seal of Mar de Cobo. The lamb will be the star of the festival held in Mar de Cobo. During the three days, visitors will be able to enjoy live outdoor performances, games for children, and cultural proposals that accompany without stealing the spotlight from the true center of the celebration: the lamb. The venue for the Coastal Lamb Festival has a large capacity for visitors. On Sunday, the festivities will begin earlier with the traditional parade through the town's streets, a custom that symbolizes the union between producers, institutions, and the community that makes this gathering possible year after year. In Mar de Cobo, the flavor of lamb is not just a recipe; it is part of its history and an open invitation to all who want to discover, a few kilometers from Mar del Plata, one of the most authentic festivals on the Atlantic Coast. In Mar de Cobo, a small coastal town of just 3,000 inhabitants, the aroma of roasted lamb is felt all year round and begins to increase in the lead-up to the Provincial Coastal Lamb Festival, which this year will be held on November 7, 8, and 9, in the Central Plaza, with an offer that combines gastronomy, tradition, and the typical warmth of this picturesque location by the sea in the district of Mar Chiquita. The event, which brings together neighbors, producers, and visitors from all over the province of Buenos Aires, is centered on the lamb prepared in all its versions: on the grill, in the oven, in empanadas, stews, and sandwiches. The gastronomic walk is the most anticipated spot of the weekend, with grills lit from early on and local producers showing the result of a craft work that is passed down from generation to generation. Three days dedicated to tradition and flavor. According to the Argentine News Agency, in addition to the culinary offerings, there will be a fair of artisans and entrepreneurs with regional products, textiles, ceramics, and homemade sweets. Behind the organization is a strong community spirit: the organizing committee, made up of local institutions together with the Municipality of Mar Chiquita, works for months to launch a party that reflects the identity of the town and its relationship with the rural and maritime environment. A weekend to enjoy with family. The atmosphere is relaxed, family-friendly, and festive.
