So come to Urbana IL Nov 8-11 and experience a most enjoyable tango
festival. Our Fiesta is known as providing a friendly environment with great
instructors, great dancers, and a top notch festival facility. If you've
been here before, you already know that. If you haven't been here. ask
someone who has. Festival size has grown from 100 to 140 participants over
the years, providing an interesting variety of dancers to mingle with, a
group that each year becomes more geographically diverse (all over Midwest
and beyond), while not being so large as to make it difficult to cultivate
tango friendships. There are cost saving in coming to our University (of
Illinois) town, with numerous affordable hotels and restaurants within
walking distance of the festival site. Our tango community is also generous
in providing some housing for festival attendees in their homes (preference
given to students).

Champaign-Urbana IL is located within 3 hours driving and almost equidistant
from Chicago, Indianapolis, and St Louis. There are 3 interstate highways
(I-74, I-57, I-72) within minutes of the festival site, and the Champaign
(CMI) airport is 15 minutes away.

We look forward to seeing you in Urbana in November.
