Estival Tango

An Argentine Tango Festival by the Sea

Estival Tango was born from the passion of the association An Oriant Tango, based in Lorient, for Argentine tango. Every year in June, the festival takes over the Port de Locmalo in Port-Louis, offering dancers a unique setting between the sea and historical heritage. The citadel of Port-Louis and the Lorient estuary serve as a backdrop for this event that combines dance, music, and conviviality.

Open-Air Milongas and Dance Workshops

The Estival Tango program revolves around open-air milongas, these Argentine tango dances that take place in the evening facing the sea. DJs specializing in tango music accompany the dancers late into the night. During the day, dance workshops are offered for all levels, from beginner to advanced, led by experienced dancers.

An Exceptional Maritime Setting

Port-Louis, with its marina, its 17th-century citadel, and its historic streets, offers an incomparable setting for a tango festival. The milongas are held outdoors, allowing participants to dance with a view of the ocean. An asado (Argentine barbecue) is traditionally organized to strengthen the spirit of sharing and conviviality that characterizes tango culture.

A Passionate Community in Brittany

Estival Tango is part of the dynamism of the Breton tango community, driven by the association An Oriant Tango, which organizes classes, practicas, and milongas throughout the year in the Lorient region. The festival is the annual highlight for this community, bringing together dancers from all over France and sometimes from abroad for an unforgettable weekend of dance and encounters.
