Argentine tango and culture in the medieval village of Costa d'Oneglia
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.
For the occasion, the alleys of the medieval village of Costa d'Oneglia come alive with tango, music, 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.
The setting is the evocative medieval village, perched on the hills above Oneglia: a secluded and authentic place, far from mass tourism, where the festival also becomes an opportunity to discover a hidden corner of the territory of Imperia.
The Circolo Manuel Belgrano celebrates a significant milestone in 2026, a sign of the vitality of this cultural bond between Liguria and Argentina. A festival that, year after year, keeps alive the memory of a shared emigration and historical heritage.
The 2026 edition of the Festival of the Argentine Flag in Costa d'Oneglia is particularly significant, as it coincides with the 40th anniversary of the Circolo Manuel Belgrano, the event's promoter.
The festival, scheduled between late June and early July, enlivens the medieval village alleys with evenings of tango, music, crafts, and Argentine cuisine. Precise dates are communicated by the organizers in the preceding weeks.
The dates and detailed program for 2026 will be confirmed by the organizers.
Costa d'Oneglia is a hillside hamlet of Imperia, reachable by car from Oneglia. Limited parking in the village.
