This Thursday 3, Friday 4, Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 October, Bocas Abiertas celebrates its seventh edition: the star gastronomic festival of Zona Norte once again occupy the Municipal Exhibition Center of San Isidro, in Del Barco Centenera and the river. On Thursday, the event schedule will be reduced, from 18 to 23 hours, while the rest of the days will be extended from 12 noon to 11 pm. Admission is $200; for retirees and those on bicycles, $100; children under 12 years and persons with disabilities, free of charge. As always, Bocas Abiertas will convene renowned chefs, restaurants, Argentine producers and artists to offer a rather foolproof combo: almost four whole days of good food, cooking classes, gourmet shopping, various workshops and live music. On this occasion, the organization also wants to install an attitude, a vibrate, which they decided to call “Kindness”. “It was always a very friendly festival, but this year we want to deepen that concept, that people feel comfortable, relaxed, in an area where the please, thanks and the desire for the well-being of the other,” explained Diego García Tedesco to Télam. Of course, always with gastronomy as the perfect excuse to meet, talk about how cute and have more than good.” Relaxation
To ensure the execution of the background idea, the spaces of gastronomy and music will be complemented with one especially dedicated to relaxation, sustainability, responsible food and contact with the spiritual world. In Calma Style there will be yoga, meditation and aromatherapy classes, gardening workshops, nutrition and recycling, massages and other style activities.
