Commemorations of Justo José de Urquiza

Overview

Various historical commemorations are taking place in Argentina honoring General Justo José de Urquiza. In the Villa Urquiza neighborhood of Buenos Aires, festivities mark the area’s 139th anniversary, including a mass at the Parroquia del Carmen and musical performances by the Orquesta del Tango de Buenos Aires.

In Concepción del Uruguay, a ‘Week of Tribute’ titled ‘Un legado llamado Urquiza’ (A legacy called Urquiza) is underway to mark the 225th anniversary of the birth of Argentina’s first constitutional president. The initiative has included guided tours for students through landmarks such as Plaza Ramírez and the Casa de Urquiza, as well as lectures by historians Eduardo Lazzari and Orlando Busiello regarding Urquiza’s institutional legacy.

Recent additions to the tribute include an exhibition of Urquiza’s gala saber at the Colegio Superior del Uruguay, held in collaboration with the Argentine Army’s II Armored Brigade, which is providing security for the artifact.

While a major civic-military parade was originally scheduled for October 25 in Plaza Ramírez to commemorate Urquiza's birth, the 200th anniversary of Concepción del Uruguay’s city status, and the 175th anniversary of the ‘Histórico Pronunciamiento de Urquiza’, logistical changes have occurred. Due to weather forecasts predicting a 40% chance of rain and general instability, the municipality has postponed the central parade and ceremony to November 1 to ensure the safety of participating schools, institutions, and military forces.
