The story

National Shrimp and Prawn Festival in Ingeniero White

A free, four-day seafood festival on Ingeniero White's port promenade timed to Holy Week, where more than a hundred food stalls run by local cooks and community groups serve shrimp and prawn dishes against a backdrop of working port cranes and grain silos, alongside two stages of national and local music.

Ingeniero White's shrimp and prawn festival times itself to Holy Week rather than a fixed date, filling the port neighborhood's Paseo Portuario with two stages, more than a hundred stands and a program built almost entirely around seafood, in a town whose identity is inseparable from the Port of Bahia Blanca beside it.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival's stalls are largely run by neighborhood community organizations rather than commercial vendors, giving the food a homemade, dockworker-neighborhood character distinct from a typical festival food court

02

The mystery stays covered

It's staged directly on the working Paseo Portuario, so cranes, silos and port infrastructure form the visual backdrop rather than a purpose-built festival ground

03

The city starts moving

Timed to Holy Week rather than a fixed calendar date, the festival is organized jointly by the neighborhood's Society for Progress and Culture and the consortium that manages the Port of Bahia Blanca, and has run for more than three decades
