About Festival of the Argentine Flag

In the medieval village of Costa d'Oneglia, a hillside hamlet of Imperia, a special bond with Argentina is renewed: the Festival of the Argentine Flag, promoted by the Circolo Manuel Belgrano. This event celebrates the link between the Ligurian village and Argentine history - Manuel Belgrano, creator of the Argentine flag, had Ligurian origins - with evenings of tango, crafts, and Argentine cuisine in the village alleys. An original and evocative festival, weaving Ligurian traditions and South American atmospheres in a little-known corner of the Riviera dei Fiori.

A bridge between Liguria and Argentina

The Festival of the Argentine Flag is held in Costa d'Oneglia, a small hillside hamlet of Imperia, in Liguria, and is promoted by the Circolo Manuel Belgrano. The event celebrates the link between the Ligurian village and Argentina, connected to the figure of Manuel Belgrano, Argentine national hero and creator of the flag, whose family roots lie precisely in Liguria.

Tango, crafts, and Argentine cuisine

It is a festival that brings the atmospheres and flavors of South America to the stone houses of the village, in an original combination that makes it unique in the events scene of the Riviera dei Fiori.
