Aosta Valley, the capital of Argentine tango with milongas, workshops, and live concerts
SaintVincenTango! is one of the most important Argentine tango festivals in the Alps. Born in Saint-Vincent and organized by the Artetango association of Aosta, its 2026 edition takes place in Châtillon (Aosta Province), in the Perolles dance halls, located right near the highway exit. The Châtillon venue has been chosen for the second consecutive year while awaiting the completion of renovations at the Palais in Saint-Vincent, where the festival is expected to return in 2027.
The festival's program intertwines all facets of tango:
Each year, the festival hosts top-tier international dancers and musicians, accompanied by DJs specializing in selecting music for the tandas. It's an eagerly awaited event for enthusiasts from all over Italy and neighboring countries.
SaintVincenTango is the expression of the Artetango association, an Aosta Valley entity that has been promoting Argentine tango culture in the region for over twenty years. The festival represents the highlight of this activity and helps make the Aosta Valley, and particularly Châtillon and Saint-Vincent, a reference point for tango in Northwestern Italy.
The fourteenth edition of SaintVincenTango is held from Friday, April 24 to Sunday, April 26, 2026, in the Perolles dance halls in Châtillon, for the second consecutive year away from the Palais in Saint-Vincent, which is under renovation. The festival once again makes the Aosta Valley the capital of Argentine tango, with milongas, workshops, performances, and live concerts that attract dancers and enthusiasts from all over Italy.
Three days of milongas, workshops, performances, and live concerts. Among the announced artists and events:
