Nº 5 - August 08

We would have liked to count with more information in such an important month as this one, when the Tango Festival and the World Tango Championship are taking place. Unfortunately until the day that this newsletter was written (July 29^th) there’s a total lack of details at government’s websites. We always wait for these occasions with a lot of enthusiasm and we’d like to invite everyone that can make a trip to our city to come, since these are the most important events of the year regarding tango. To those who plan to travel here we suggest to check the information that appears at the websites mentioned below in order to count with more details, since we’re sure that they will appear in the next few days.

As always, we have made an interesting selection of activities, shows and exhibitions of different topics so as to enjoy our city completely. Among these you’ll find this month a wide variety of sport events.

For the first time this year there will take place during the month of August two of the most important tango events of our city: The Tango Festival that will be held from August 15^th till the 24^th and the VI Tango World Championship that will be developed between August 24^th and September 1^st. Unfortunately until today there’s no information regarding any of these events nor details about their program, but you’ll be able to check this information at the following websites www.festivaldetango.gov.ar and www.mundialdetango.gov.ar. We hope that this lack of information will not be reflected in disorganization, since we’re all waiting for these events with high expectation.
