November
It's pretty darn near perfect weather in BA, and the jacaranda trees are showing off
their gorgeous purple blooms. High season has arrived, so reserve your accommoda-
tion ahead.
Marcha del Orgullo Gay
It's nothing like San Francisco's or Sydney's, but BA has its own gay pride march. Each
year on the first Saturday in November, thousands of BA's gays, lesbians, transgenders and
more strut their way through the city's center. (

Creamfields
Buenos Aires' premier electronic-music festival happens in early November. Tens of thou-
sands of ravers party non-stop for hours on end, with famous local and international DJs
spinning their best. (

Día de la Tradición
The closest thing to authentic gaucho culture you'll probably ever witness, with traditional
foods, feats of horsemanship, and folk music and dancing. It happens in San Antonio de
Areco, a day trip from BA; call the Areco tourist office (
www.arecoturismo.com.ar
)
for ex-
act dates, which vary yearly. If you miss it, head to Feria de Mataderos, a weekly street fair
outside BA's center.
