The Mailín celebration: tradition and specific dates

For several years, the festival of the “Señor de los Milagros de Mailín” has been held at the Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe parish in Villa de Mayo, in the Diocese of San Miguel. The celebration includes folk dancing, a musical performance, and a prayer to the “Santo Cristo.” Prayer, music, and dance bring together religious and cultural elements as part of the same festival.

The 49th Fiesta of the “Señor de los Milagros de Mailín” was declared of municipal interest and scheduled for May 31 and June 1, 2025, in Villa de Mayo. Thousands of pilgrims and worshippers gathered for the celebration. The distinction in timing matters when planning a trip: the tradition has been observed for several years, but the dates given refer to the 49th Fiesta in 2025. Check the dates of the relevant edition when planning a future trip.

The May 2024 opening report describes the Playón Multideportivo Villa de Mayo as having a 40 × 20-meter multipurpose artificial-turf area, a 24 × 15-meter volleyball court, and a 30 × 17-meter basketball court. The stated measurements specify the dimensions of each of the three sports areas. The report also mentions a children’s play area and a training area, identifying two additional, separate parts of the complex beyond the courts.

The Centro Cultural y Biblioteca José Hernandez is a cultural center and library at the intersection of Luján and Cochabamba in Villa de Mayo. It complements the sports facilities with a dedicated cultural and library venue. Plans for the new Plaza Mailín in Villa de Mayo called for an area of approximately 11,000 square meters; this figure refers to the proposed project.

Villa de Mayo railway station

The Villa de Mayo station on the Belgrano Norte line was given the name “Ciudad Villa de Mayo.” Renovations to the station created more accessible areas for boarding, alighting, and waiting. The name and the structural changes therefore relate to two different aspects of the station. Check the current timetable before traveling by train.
