Overview
- Two alfajor fairs are scheduled for the long weekend, with Rosario running May 1–3 and San Antonio de Areco set for May 2–3.
- Rosario’s Feria Argentina del Alfajor will take place at the Terminal Fluvial by the National Flag Monument and will feature open entry, tastings, and a wide range of producers.
- The Areco festival will host about 70 artisan makers in Plaza Ruiz de Arellano with free entry from 10:00 to 20:00, a tasting contest, live music and dance, and a planned giant alfajor targeting a 2‑meter diameter.
- Travel is designed for quick getaways from Buenos Aires, with Rosario about a three‑hour drive and San Antonio de Areco roughly 113 km away by car via Route 9 or by frequent buses from Retiro.
- The fairs promote producers and serve as a lead‑up to the Campeonato Mundial del Alfajor in August in Buenos Aires, where 2025’s top prize went to Chacra Los Retamos of Chubut for a nut‑flour, dulce de leche, white‑chocolate alfajor.
