Netflix Paints La Boca’s Magallanes Street Black for 'Paseo Darkminito'

City officials approved the blackout under a heritage sponsorship framework that mandates full restoration of the facades

Overview

  • The immersive activation transforms facades from numbers 837 to 890 on Calle Magallanes into a black backdrop through August 3 for Merlina’s second season
  • Branded “Paseo Darkminito,” the promotion features themed decor, live tango orchestras, cello performances and interactive photo stations
  • The Ministry of Public Space and Urban Hygiene confirmed that the campaign complied with Law 6163 sponsorship rules and did not affect any protected heritage structures
