New Orleans Tango Festival

This is your chance to tango in a city where you can have just as much fun off the dance floor as you will on it! The New Orleans Tango Festival will return for its 5th year - June 14th-17th, once more at the Astor Crowne Plaza. New Orleans will celebrate its 300th birthday, so the city will be partying too. We hope you'll join us for our tango family reunion and for New Orleans' Tricentennial next year in 2018!
