[1][5] The Hipódromo Argentino de Palermo also hosts music concerts, attracting twenty to twenty-five thousand attendants, and culinary fairs, attracting ten to twenty thousand attendants.

[4] Musicians that have played include Alejandro Sanz, Fito Paez, Lisandro Aristimuño, Divididos, David Bisbal, Katy Perry, Maroon 5, Måneskin and TINI.

These events are hosted in the hippodrome park (parque hipódromo), in the middle of the track.

[6] The Hipódromo de Palermo was first opened on 7 May 1876, as one of the first racecourses in the city of Buenos Aires.

[7][8][9] On its inauguration, the trains and streetcars of Buenos Aires were not enough to transport the large number of people who wanted to attend the event.

Despite this, close to 10,000 people witnessed the first race ever disputed at the Hipódromo, won by the horse Resbaloso.

[1] On 5 August 1992, the racecourse was privatized and ownership given to Hipódromo Argentino de Palermo Sociedad Anónima (HAPSA), in an agreement originally set to last until 2027 and later extended to 2032.
