This is year promises to be better than ever. Do you still need a reason to be here? This is what to expect from the festival this year:
More classes, same price ATL Tango Festival is one of the few events that offers four workshops running at the same time during the weekend. Also, two more classes Thursday and Friday.

Passes range from $175 for the All Access Pass to $65 for the Milonga Pass, with a special price for a Student Pass ($125). Once the festival starts, the at the door prices will increase by $10 to $15. Hurry up and register now!!! http://www.atlantatangofestival.com/passes.html It is all about the music We have gathered some of the best DJs in the country, and most of the workshops will revolve around musicality or musical interpretations, so it is fair to say that the festival is ALL ABOUT THE MUSIC. In addition, we will have a Special Discussion/Round Table with the participation of all the DJs working in the festival. This class is intended to be an exchange of ideas with a Q/A format. A great opportunity to learn the opinions on music of some of the best DJs in the country. Open to anybody interested in tango music. A "must take" class for DJs. For details, please visit http://www.atlantatangofestival.com/privates.html All under one roof The festival will take place at the Hyatt Regency hotel in downtown Atlanta. The hotel offers a discount rate of only $109/night for festival participants. The hotel is easily accessible by MARTA (www.itsmarta.com) from the airport, so no car is necessary if flying into town. Reservation details are available at: http://www.atlantatangofestival.com/venue.html Also, the hotel is surrounded by lots of Downtown Atlanta attractions, from the Olympic Park to the Georgia Aquarium. Lots of new restaurants and cafes are opening every day in downtown Atlanta. Come and enjoy them between classes and milongas. For local dancers, we recommend to use MARTA for daytime events, and use your car for the night milongas. Carpooling is a great idea that some people used last year.
