With free entry for everyone, this event will take place in the southern part of the city, at **Parque Punta Mogotes**, on February 15 and 16, starting at 10:00 AM.
That weekend, just after celebrating Mar del Plata’s 151st anniversary, locals and visitors alike will enjoy activities that revolve around one key star: the medialuna (Argentina’s beloved croissant). The festival includes a competition to crown the city’s best medialuna, showcases and tastings of creative culinary delights from local bakeries, and even features the presentation of the *world’s largest medialuna*.

But that’s not all—the event will also host a marketplace for local entrepreneurs, plenty of live music, and vibrant performances to keep the festive energy alive.
During the festival, local bakers will compete in several categories, including the best sweet medialuna, savory medialuna, and creative “author-style” creations. Importantly, gluten-free (*sin T.A.C.C.*) medialunas are also part of the competition, reflecting the diversity and inclusivity of the event.
If you’re a fan of delicious pastries and unique cultural celebrations, the Medialuna Festival in Mar del Plata is the perfect way to indulge your taste buds and embrace the city’s vibrant spirit.
