Eventos Septiembre/ Events for September 2012

Dear Friends,

It is the beginning of a new month and we have a lot to look forward to. Most of the focus is on the Oktoberfest but our beautiful town offers other events too.

Something new that hasn`t been seen here before is the figure skating event that will take place from 5 to 9 September in SUM. What an exciting event and I am definitely looking forward to take some photos. SUM is a big hall where many events take place and I am curious to see how the cement floor will be transformed. I have never been to a figure skating event, this is quite exciting!

For all the art lovers out there. Don`t miss the art exhibition that is currently taking place in the Museo Estanislao Baños in the centre. Entrance is for free and the work of many talented artists can be seen here.

Last but not least: OKTOBERFEST!!! Yes the weekend of the 28th the event will open. It is jam-packed with incredible events. Dances, ballet,music, food and lots and lots of entertainment. We are fully booked for the long weekend but we are urging people to attend the first weekend. Why? First of all the entrance to the Beer Garden is free. Second, it is much more comfortable and you don`t have to wait hours to get a beer, food to eat or to find a place to sit. Imagine the queues at the restrooms!

We still have availability if you are interested: info@tinktinkie.com or visit our website http://www.tinktinkie.com

Saludos!

Mountain Bike Rally in Santa Rosa de Calamuchita

In one of my previous posts I wrote about the 6th annual Mountain Bike Rally that will be taking place in our pretty little town. Yesterday I saw photos on the Facebook page of the Tourist Office that a number of cyclists turned up to register for the event.

This morning I made my way down to Playa Santa Rita where the starting line was. I was running a little late and when I saw cyclists heading in that direction, I thought I was too late and missed the start. Luckily I wasn`t and it was also people who were running late like me!

It`s been such a long time since I have seen so many cyclists together. What a sight! The sirens were wailing and before I had time to pick a nice spot, the guys started to cycle past me. I didn`t stay for their return and lingered a little while longer before I headed back home.

Well done to all the cyclists who participated in the event. I hope some people grabbed some nice prices. I believe 35,000 pesos worth of prizes were up for grabs!

Oktoberfest 2012

Yes, it is that time of the year again! This is the highlight of the year – Oktoberfest en Villa General Belgrano!

It is incredible to think that Hostel Tinktinkie will be hosting our 4th annual Oktoberfest. I would like to take the opportunity to take a look back in time and to remember the good times and the wonderful guests that we have had here in the past.

But before I do that…when is the Oktoberfest? The event will run from 28 September 2012 to 8 October 2012. Yes a full two weeks to enjoy traditional German food,dances,music,events and BEER!

Oktoberfest Villa General Belgrano: What to wear?

What to wear for the Oktoberfest in Villa General Belgrano – Argentina.

Here at Hostel Tinktinkie, we always tell our customers that dressing up for the Oktoberfest in Villa General Belgrano is a must! By dressing up I don´t mean you have to rent clothes but there are three items that you need, to complete your outfit.

A Chop or beer mug.

There are many different ones for sale: ceramic-,wooden and metal chops. The ceramic chops are beautiful and come in a variety of colours. From experience we have learnt that the metal and wooden chops work better. The metal chops keep the beer cold and they do not break easily.

Many people buy the ceramic mugs but after a couple of toasts the chop is in pieces. We have a souvenir in our kitchen.

A feathered hat or gorra.

The hats are adorable and come in many different colours. They add a touch of colour to any outfit. I really like the feathered hats and it makes me smile when I walk in the street and see the feathers waving in the wind. All the hats have been handmade and it is a great way to support the local community.

Beer clip or cinta.

This is an essential and practical item for the Oktoberfest. You can clip your chop to this belt and you have your hands free. Let´s call it a hands-free-kit!

Each year we explain to the groups at the hostel how to prepare for the Oktoberfest and what is required. It is great to see the excitement and people are always looking forward to buy their chops, gorros and cintas!

If you are looking for accommodation for the 2016 Oktoberfest in Villa General Belgrano, we still have a couple of places available. Remember it is a long weekend in Argentina and this weekend (7th to the 10th of October) is the most popular. Book now to avoid disappointment.
