When is the San Telmo Sunday market?

< 1 min read

The San Telmo Sunday Market (Feria de San Telmo) is held every Sunday in the San Telmo neighborhood of Buenos Aires.

đź•™ Hours:

  • Officially runs from about 10:00 AM to 5:00–6:00 PM.

  • The antique fair at Plaza Dorrego is the historic core of the market, but nowadays the stalls stretch along Calle Defensa for nearly 10 blocks.

🎭 What to expect:

  • Antiques (the original focus): furniture, art, books, vinyls, and collectibles.

  • Handmade crafts & souvenirs: jewelry, leather goods, mate sets, artwork.

  • Street performers & tango dancers: especially around Plaza Dorrego.

  • Food stalls & cafĂ©s: good for empanadas, choripán, or coffee breaks.

⚠️ Tips:

  • It gets very crowded after noon — best to go in the morning if you want to browse more calmly.

  • Keep an eye on your belongings (pickpockets target distracted tourists).

  • Some stalls accept card, but cash in pesos is still best.
