The Tango Festivals list is updated as soon as organizers send me the info. This is a rather list to websites, dates are approximate and some festivals are cancelled ( but still maintaining websites). Check the schedule with organizers! Need corrections? E-mail me ( I am sorry, I do not put festivals in the list unless asked ) "True Festivals" or "Dance Camps"? . Regular Tango weekends can be here also, and cruises !

Argentine Tango Festivals are the best way to progress in dancing. They are not as good for beginners as for intermediate and for advanced dancers, but for beginners they are very inspiring. The festival atmosphere when everybody are into Tango is rarely happens on regular milongas. They are true celebrations of spirit when participants are not passive watchers but more than active actors on the scene.
