Overview
- The national holiday for the Paso a la Inmortalidad of General Martín Miguel de Güemes was observed Monday 15 June after the government used calendar rules to move the original 17 June date to create a long weekend.
- Salta confirmed a multi‑day program for 16–17 June that centers on the Marcha de la Agonía route, the Guardia Bajo las Estrellas ceremony and an official ceremony with a gaucho parade on 17 June.
- Organizers in Salta will host the first Encuentro Güemesiano Federal on 16 June, a gathering of traditionalist delegations from other provinces organized by the Agrupación Tradicionalista de Salta Gauchos de Güemes.
- The Municipality of Salta is staging a free family program called 'Salta celebra a Güemes' on 16 June at the Explanada del Cabildo featuring the Banda Municipal “25 de Mayo” and the Nativos Dance Company.
- A post‑holiday assessment by CAME reported this long weekend as the weakest tourist movement of 2026 with 993,683 travelers and a direct impact of $216,649 million, a shortfall that local vendors and tourism operators say stemmed from bad weather, economic constraints and the World Cup kickoff.
