The +Art association invites you to a unique festive and cultural event in the heart of the Val d'Illiez, to discover and celebrate the richness of Argentine culture.
For the curious, families, art and culture lovers, from 1pm, a festive welcome awaits you in a convivial atmosphere: homemade empanadas, pizza and salad (registration required), cold drinks, relaxation area and giant games. A discovery area will allow you to immerse yourself in the richness of regional Argentinean dances and learn more about the activities of the +Art association.
Practical information:
– A Canadian table will be open during the milonga: everyone is invited to bring a culinary specialty to share, to nourish conviviality as much as dance.
