During the Semana de Mayo in 1810, political pressure in Buenos Aires led to the resignation of Viceroy Baltasar Hidalgo de Cisneros. On 25 May, the Primera Junta was established with Cornelio Saavedra as president. Official Argentine history describes this as the beginning of a longer path toward independence and national organisation.
The holiday remembers the first patriotic government and the assertion of popular sovereignty during the May Revolution. It marks the opening of the revolutionary process, whereas 9 July commemorates the formal declaration of independence six years later.
Official commemorations refer to 25 May as Día de la Patria and may centre on the May Revolution, the Cabildo and the Primera Junta. The programme changes by year and location; current government or municipal announcements are the proper source for a particular ceremony.
Visitors interested in public commemorations should consult the announced programme for the relevant city. A national historical date does not by itself establish a uniform transport change.
