\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t The good thing about the downer seasonal fall rains this week in Buenos Aires is that they will give way to a weekend of clear skies and beautiful weather.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This week\u2019s Get Out brings together literary meetups, high-energy nightlife, global flavors and live music, from intimate book clubs to stadium shows.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\nBuenos Aires Museum of Modern Art (Av. San Juan 350)
\nFree admission<\/p>\n
Marking its 70th anniversary, the Museo de Arte Moderno de Buenos Aires opens its doors for a full day of art and music this Saturday. Visitors can explore new exhibitions under the 2026 program Habitando el futuro, spanning painting, installation and contemporary interventions.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As the evening falls, the celebration continues with Noche Moderna, featuring live DJ sets from 7 p.m. onwards. With free admission and a festive atmosphere, it\u2019s a perfect excuse to rediscover one of the city\u2019s key cultural spaces.<\/p>\n
Wine tasting walk in San Telmo April 19, 1 p.m. to 11 p.m.
\nSeveral locations in San Telmo
\nGlass: AR$10,000. Refills: AR$6,000<\/p>\n
Wine takes over the cobblestone streets of San Telmo this Sunday with a new edition of San Telmo se copa, a laid-back tasting crawl through one of the city\u2019s most atmospheric neighborhoods (the Spanish pun roughly translates as \u201cSan Telmo is game\u201d).\u00a0<\/p>\n
Starting at 1 p.m., participants pick up a glass and a map at Grap\u00edn (Bolivar 938) and set off to explore more than 20 bars and wine shops, each offering curated labels and expert guidance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Refills are available at every stop, turning the day into a flexible, self-paced tour of Argentine wines. Along the way, classic spots serve empanadas for a well-timed break between tastings. With no reservations required and activities running into the evening, it\u2019s an easygoing plan for wandering, sipping and discovering new corners of the neighborhood. More information here.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Las Argies Book Club April 18, 6 p. m. to 8 p. m.
\nLa Poes\u00eda Bar, Chile 502
\nPrice is AR$20,000 or US$25<\/p>\n
If you still inhabit that linguistic no-man\u2019s land between Spanish and English, The Argies\u2019 Spanglish Book Club might be a good match. An intimate and literary way to experience Buenos Aires, the club focuses on Argentine literature.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This month, the focus is on the Constituci\u00f3n neighborhood as seen through the eyes of author Mariana Enriquez\u2019s short story El chico sucio, from her book Las cosas que perdimos en el fuego.<\/p>\n
The gathering aims to be a space where people whose native language is not Spanish can still sit down to discuss, better understand Argentine culture, meet people, and feel comfortable joining the conversation. A basic or intermediate (not perfect) level of Spanish communication skills is required.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The conversation moves between both languages, depending on what each person needs to express themselves and understand. The idea is to try, to listen, to ask, and to participate. A reading guide with cultural context and references is available in both Spanish and English.<\/p>\n

\nORNO (Beruti (3336)

Hosted by the fabulous Socorro, the event swaps traditional calls for pop, funk and dance hits, turning each round into a participatory, high-energy show where players shout \u201c\u00a1Socorro!\u201d instead of \u201cBingo.\u201d<\/p>\n
And speaking about yelling, there is also an open mic for karaoke, vermouth, fain\u00e1 sticks and all sorts of courage-inducing cocktails for those who dare to step up to the stage.<\/p>\n
