Argentina's Guitarras del Mundo festival begins its 32nd edition on September 23 and runs through October 4, continuing a long-running format built around free guitar concerts across the country rather than a single venue. The official festival site is now carrying the 2026 schedule and artist programme.
This year's edition also pays tribute to Roberto Aussel, the influential Argentine classical guitarist who died in 2026. The programme brings together players from Argentina and abroad and treats the guitar as a meeting point for multiple traditions rather than narrowing the festival to one genre.
With the opening five days away, the festival is still early enough for readers in the region to act on the schedule. It was deliberately held from an earlier daily run for event pacing; today it remains fully coverable without sacrificing its opening date.

Why it matters
Guitarras del Mundo is a rare large-scale guitar festival with a genuinely national footprint and free access. Its 32-year continuity and this edition's Roberto Aussel tribute make it relevant well beyond a local concert listing.
