Hello Michael, surprised that no one has responded to your posting and not sure if this will help you or not,m but here is the web site for Salta. I took a look and did not see any listing for a fiesta but might have missed it.

Hola Sam,
Here's the site I saw it on: http://www.portaldesalta.gov.ar/calendar.htm Now my Spanish is still a bit rusty, but the calendar looked like it said Salta was celebrating the founding of the city on April 16th... I'll also check with my hotel in Salta and see what they know, but thought I'd check here, too... this site has been great as I decided where I wanted to go in Argentina! And thanks for the info on the other site! Take care, Michael

Hello Michael:
April 16th is a Salta City foundation aniversary. (424 years old) The City foundation was April 16th 1582. By Don Hernando de Lerma, in the name of "Santísima Trinidad, de la Virgen Santa María, del Apóstol Santiago y de Su Majestad el Rey de España". The foundation had a name "Ciudad de Lerma en el valle de Salta". Mind that you will have doble celebratios this day, Salta City Foundation and Eastern. Best Regards from Salta City Srcsalta.
