Montreal Tango Festival is an international celebration of Argentine tango in one of North America’s most vibrant cultural cities. Created to offer a festival experience that is both artistically rich and deeply welcoming, it brings together exceptional artists, inspiring music, social dancing, and the distinctive atmosphere of Montreal.
Organized by Burak Ozkosem and Sirma Sabire Saltik, and produced by Tango Renaissance, the festival reflects a shared commitment to creating meaningful tango experiences that combine artistic excellence, human connection, and a strong sense of place.
Montreal Tango Festival was created as an extension of that vision: to offer dancers a festival that feels elevated, memorable, and human — a place where local and international communities can come together to learn, dance, connect, and experience tango in a city that already knows how to celebrate art and life. Through workshops, milongas, and shared moments throughout the city, Montreal Tango Festival invites dancers from near and far into a world shaped by artistry, connection, and discovery.
Tango Renaissance is a Montreal-based tango studio and cultural space dedicated to high-quality teaching, memorable social dancing, and community-building through tango. Through classes, milongas, workshops, and special events, it aims to create an environment where tango can be experienced as both an art form and a living social language.
Montreal Tango Festival is an invitation to experience tango through learning, music, connection, and discovery. We look forward to welcoming dancers from near and far to share in a festival shaped by artistry, community, and the spirit of Montreal.
