- Mate rounds on the lawn: The festival's core is sitting in a circle where one person pours and the gourd goes round. Learn to say “gracias” only when you want to stop.
- Folk music on the main stage: Nights are given to chamamé, zamba and other folkloric styles, with local and national acts playing to a seated, singing crowd.
- Regional dance shows: Ballet troupes and community groups perform traditional dances in costume, a good way to see how deep the roots of Argentine folk go.
- Mate crafts and gourd stalls: Artisans sell carved and leather-covered gourds, bombillas and thermos holders. Buying direct from the maker is better value than souvenir shops.
- Plaza de las Colectividades itself: The venue, home to the city's immigrant associations, adds regional food stands and river air, so arrive early
