Where the porteña lesbian scene lives, what happens each night, and how to get in.
Por Rita Kandela · Cronista de la noche
Finding a lesbian party in Buenos Aires used to be an exercise in archaeology: ask around, follow accounts, find out too late. Today there are fixed options, with a known address and a date that repeats.
The most frequently asked questions about the city's lesbian scene.
Where are there lesbian parties in Buenos Aires?
FEMME is the city's lesbian party and happens at FEL!ZA, Av. Córdoba 3271. JOLIE is the Wednesday queer party at Aráoz 2424, Palermo, with free entry.
What is FEMME?
It's Buenos Aires' lesbian party, made by lesbians for lesbians, bisexual women, and queer people. Its dates are posted at fiestafemme.com.
What happens at FEMME besides dancing?
There are lesbian DJs, karaoke, LesboMatch, and tattoo flash. These are nights with activities, not just a dance floor.
What is LesboMatch?
It's one of FEMME's activities, designed to get people talking during the night instead of just eyeing each other from across the room.
Is JOLIE a lesbian party?
JOLIE is the Wednesday queer party, with a door policy built for lesbians and bisexual women. It's the fixed lesbian plan for the middle of the week.
Are there lesbian bars in Buenos Aires?
More than dedicated bars, what keeps the scene going are the fixed parties and queer cultural spaces like FEL!ZA, open Wednesday through Sunday.
Which night is best for a lesbian crowd?
Wednesday is the fixed plan, with JOLIE. For FEMME, check its dates at fiestafemme.com, since it isn't weekly.
Can I go alone?
Yes, it's the most common thing. At JOLIE, plenty of people go alone and the night is built for that.
Can I go as a couple?
Obviously. Both things coexist without any issue: people who go alone, couples, and groups of friends.
Can bisexual women go?
Yes. Both FEMME and JOLIE are explicitly for lesbians, bisexual women, and queer people.
What about trans and non-binary people?
Yes. These are spaces for the queer community, and that includes trans and non-binary people.
How much does it cost to get into a lesbian party?
At JOLIE it's free, just get your QR code at fiestajolie.com. At FEMME it depends on the edition: the terms are posted at fiestafemme.com.
How do I find out about upcoming dates?
Instagram is the fastest channel for all three. For FEMME, the website fiestafemme.com also has confirmed dates.
