Buenos Aires Tango Festival

Buenos Aires' premier tango festival has something for everyone, whether you're a serious tango fan or only know that it has "something to do with Argentina."

Tango is omnipresent during the annual Buenos Aires Tango Festival (August 10–23, 2017). The Tango Mundial (World Cup) dance competition invites the top dancers from around the world for a spectacular celebration of the dance. It's also a great introduction to Argentine culture and history.

Because Buenos Aires Tango Festival events take place all around the city, location isn't as important as it formerly was, making lodging choices simple and flexible. While traveling from one event to the next, take advantage of the opportunity to visit some of the city's coolest areas and must-see sights.

"If you don't mind the crowds, the Tango Festival is a great way for tango fans to see their idols compete and perform—that is the truly exciting part of the festival—and even a non-dancer would enjoy it," said Liz Seabright-Grear, TangoTrips' manager and co-founder. Tango Trips provides dancers and non-dancers alike individual, personalised milonga tours.
