Friend's Day!
 |
Dia del
Amigo -
Friend's Day
Día del
Amigo
(Spanish,
Friend's
Day) is
a
celebration
of
friendship,
held
annually
on July
20,
mainly
in
Argentina
and
Uruguay,
but also
in other
countries.
In Argentina, Friend's Day is often a good excuse for a common friendly gathering, though people also employ the day to get in contact with old and seldom-met friends and greet them. Since it is not a public holiday in Argentina, the gatherings tend to happen during the evening.
In recent years, Friend's Day has turned into a very popular mass phenomenon. In 2005, too many well-wishing friends led to a temporary breakdown of the mobile phone network in the cities of Buenos Aires, Mendoza, Córdoba and Rosario, comparable to the one experienced in 2004 on Christmas and New Year's Day.

Apollo 11
The idea for Friend's Day goes back to Argentine teacher, musician, and dentist Enrique Febbraro, who lobbied to turn the anniversary of the first moon landing into an international day of friendship. He argued that on this particular day, the whole world had been friends of the three astronauts.
Bring
your
friends
along
tonight
to
celebrate
Friend's
Day and
enjoy
our
special
Argentinean
Chef's
3-course
menu.
We've paired
three of our
great
Argentinean
wines with
these
courses.
