About three thousand of people have enjoyed a day with music, dance shows and traditional dishes at a tribute to the Russian community in Argentina, carried out on the Avenida de Mayo.
It was the second edition of "Buenos Aires celebrates Russia", which took place in front of the headquarters of the City Government, entity that organized the event. The party started at 14 and ended just after 18.
Enthusiasts were encouraged to dance on the asphalt, at the rhythm of the music. There were dance groups in traditional costumes, choruses and art exhibitions, performed by members of the Coordination Council of Russian Compatriots. However, what attracted more the public attention were the five stands in which people enjoyed varenikes and other delights of Russian cuisine.
The City Government has organized every Sunday celebrations for immigrant communities in Buenos Aires. Last week was the turn of the Italians, celebration that gathered 20,000 people on the Avenida de Mayo.
Croats, Poles, Bolivians, Peruvians and Chileans, among others had celebrated their day before. Next week, it will be the turn of the Lebanese community and the great end of the season will be with the Spanish community, which has its home on the Avenida de Mayo.
"These festivals are organized in the framework of the "Buenos Aires celebrates program" that sponsor the knowledge and cultural exchange between locals and the diverse communities established not only in the City, but also in the country” Said Claudio Avruj , Director of Institutional Relations of the government of the City.
