This is a small festival for serious dancers. Enrollment is
limited to 120 participants (including milongas) and gender balanced. Pre-registration is required (including milongas).

The festival has developed a reputation for the high 
quality of instruction and dancing, as well as for 
intimacy and friendliness. Participants come from all 
over North America, with at least 1/3 of the participants 
tango instructors. A list of participants is at:

Meet me in St. Louis, Louis.
Meet me at the tango fair.
Don't tell me the lights are shining
Any place but there.

We will dance the hoochie coochie.
I will be your tootsie wootsie
If you will meet me in St. Louis, Louis.
Meet me at the tango fair.

  Kerry Mills and Andrew B. Sterling (1904)
