Feria de Mataderos
Located way out in the western suburbs, the lighthearted folk festival Feria de Mataderos will take almost an hour to reach by bus 155 or 126 – but the journey’s worth it. Brilliantly costumed teenagers perform folkloric dances on stage while gauchos on horseback compete in traditional contests and local ladies dish out hearty country-style food and sweet patero wine. Over 100 craft stalls sell affordable handmade treasures from horse-hoof ashtrays to leather and metalwork; indulge yourself along the strip of gourmet food stalls where vendors offer free samples of dulce de leche liqueur, cheeses, and homemade liquors. For details on upcoming festivals, check their web…

Feria de Anticuarios
This cute antiques market, in the northern suburb of Acassuso, has goods cheaper than the Feria de San Telmo and it’s also smaller and less crowded. Dig through old silverwork, records, books, small collectibles, lighting fixtures and antique hardware. The best way here is on the Tren de la Costa, which begins in Olivos at Estación Maipú; get to this train station from downtown via buses 59, 60 and 152 (or take the regular Mitre train line to Tren de la Costa).

Feria Plaza Belgrano
Belgrano’s pleasant market is great on a sunny weekend. You’ll find high-quality imaginative crafts, as well as some kitschy junk. Good for families as it’s calmer and less touristy than the more central ferias.
