Concordia celebrated the Argentine Tradition Day at the Costanera with an emotional "Mateada Gauchesca," organized by the Municipality of Concordia through the Undersecretariat of Education. The event, which invited families to share a day of music, dance, and gaucho literature, paid tribute to the roots and customs that are part of our national identity.
The Mayor Francisco Azcue highlighted the relevance of these types of gatherings to reinforce the community's cultural values: "Celebrating our tradition is reconnecting with our roots and sharing the values that define us as a society. On this day, we thank every resident who came to enjoy and remember the work of José Hernández, which unites us as Argentines".
For his part, the Undersecretary of Education, Prof. Carlos Gatto, underscored the Municipality's commitment to the promotion of local culture: "From the Undersecretariat of Education, we are committed to fostering the value of tradition and local history. This mateada is an invitation to share as a family, to listen to music, to dance, and to reconnect with our folklore. It fills us with joy to see how the Concordia community supports these initiatives".

Among those present were councilwomen Eliana Lagraña and Verónica del Boca, the Secretary of Government, Luciano Dell'Ollio, and the Director of the Mixed Entity of Costanera, Mari Pierini, who accompanied and enjoyed the celebration.
The artistic program included the participation of Mario Enrique Di Maio, a poet and writer specializing in gaucho literature, who opened the evening with an emotional account of the traditions and values immortalized by José Hernández in El Martín Fierro.
