The Austin Spring Tango Festival started 20 years ago!  Every year our goal has been to make the festival the best it can be, and over the years we have learned a lot about what makes a festival successful for its attendees, maestros, DJs, and our community. We look back with pride on the continual improvement we believe we have achieved over this period. 

Our festival consistently sells out now, but we have no desire to increase its size.  About 350 people is ideal for the size of festival we want to be providing.  It allows us to afford to bring in the finest teachers from around the world, it allows us to retain a sense of coherence and community that is harder to maintain in larger events.  And the feeling of the physical space has always been important to us.  We want a space that is beautiful and is vibrant and peaceful at the same time.  Our goal, then, is not to grow the size of our festival, our goal is to perfect the feeling and experience you have when you attend the Austin Spring Tango Festival.

We can’t wait to celebrate this milestone with all of you so stay tuned as we plan our next memorable festival, one not to be missed!

Registration will open in September, and we look forward to seeing you the weekend of March 21 – 23, 2025!

Abrazos,
