Please join me and the rest of the Chicago tango community at the International Chicago Tango Festival to be held from August 24-27th.
The festival will be given by the American Tango Institute and it will be held at the Knickerbocker Hotel, 163 E. Walton, Chicago. This festival promises to follow in the tradition of the other festivals in Chicago this year and should not be missed.
