We invite young and old to remember and celebrate through culture and feel protagonists of that 25 May 1810. Let's live this historic day together”, said the City's culture minister, Enrique Avogadro.

"It is 25 May we celebrate the revolution in a different way. We have to do it from home, separated but together. We adapt to the times, and we take it as an opportunity to have a great federal celebration, showing that culture always keeps moving, even in times of coronavirus. Because, from the city, we open a range of diverse content, where each family has the opportunity to enjoy the best music from home, workshops and Creole gastronomy, which are some of the main disciplines on the digital stages of this celebration, so that together we can recover those customs and flavors that take us on a journey towards love for what is ours ”, Vivi Cantoni said, undersecretary of cultural management.
