“La Noche de La Nostalgia” has been held since 1978, every August 24 and precedes the Uruguayan Independence Day (25 August). All venues: bars, restaurants, nightclubs and casinos adhere to the celebration. The celebration takes its name because it plays the best “ballads” from the 50s to the 90s, where the night tanners can kill the homesickness and revive the successes of the time, it takes all type of audience and age group. It’s a completely democratic night, where you can enjoy and dance in a public or private place.
