Viva Mexico Tango Festival 2027
3–8 Mar 2027 · Ajijic, Mexico
“World-Class Tango in Mexico's Magical Lakeside Town”
About Viva Mexico Tango Festival
Viva Mexico Tango Festival runs March 3–8, 2027 at Hotel Real de Chapala in Ajijic, Jalisco. A week of world-class maestros, milongas, and cultural immersion beside Lake Chapala.
Viva Mexico Tango Festival brings world-class Argentine tango to the enchanting Pueblo Mágico of Ajijic, Jalisco — a colorful lakeside town nestled between mountains and the shores of Lake Chapala, just 40 minutes from Guadalajara. Since its beginnings as San Miguel Tango Festival in 2013, this event has evolved through iconic Mexican cities, arriving at the stunning Hotel Real de Chapala for its 2027 edition, March 3rd through 8th.
Dancers from around the world gather to learn from internationally acclaimed maestros including Jorge Mendoza & Karla Valencia, Alexander Sossa, Cecilia Gonzalez, and Gaston Olguin. A carefully curated roster of DJs keeps the dance floor alive from afternoon practicas through late-night milongas across six unforgettable days.
Ajijic offers far more than tango. Stroll cobblestone streets lined with murals and art galleries, dine on Mexican and international cuisine, browse the Wednesday farmers' market, or simply soak in one of the world's most celebrated climates — a steady 22°C year-round. The Hotel Real de Chapala provides garden views of the mountains and lake, making it a true retreat.
Full passes start at $359 USD per person. Space is limited — register today to secure your place at one of Latin America's most atmospheric tango festivals.
