Buenos Aires hosts 1 festival in this guide: Lollapalooza Argentina.

Buenos Aires has 1 festival in this guide. They run in March, and festival-day temperatures range from 27°C (81°F) to 27°C (81°F), with nights down to 18°C (64°F). That range is the reason there is no single "Buenos Aires festival outfit". The answer changes by month and by site.

Conditions are moderate across the board, so the day-to-night temperature drop is the thing to plan for rather than the weather itself.

The ground matters as much as the sky. Every festival here is on open field, which puts broken-in trainers or a low boot at the top of the list for most of these events. None of them have camping on site, so you are travelling in and out each day and the outfit has to survive the journey at both ends.

Stylistically the crowd here leans y2k, streetwear, indie and pop. Lollapalooza Argentina is the largest of them at around 100,000 people, and it sets the tone the smaller ones react to. None of that is a dress code. It is what you will see, which is worth knowing if you would rather blend in or deliberately not.
