2025 Philadelphia Tango Festival, May 23-26, Celebrating Anibal Troilo

We are thrilled to announce the 2025 Philadelphia Tango Festival, celebrating Aníbal Troilo, one of the most beloved tango musicians in history. Our festival offers a wide range of activities, including workshops (beginner through advanced), live music lectures, practicas, milongas, social activities, a concert, and more. Each year, we choose a theme to guide our exploration and bring together extraordinary artists–dancers and musicians–who can help us go deeper in our understanding of, and appreciation for, tango.
