Thessaloniki Tango Party, the largest tango festival in Greece, and one of the largest dance celebrations in the Balkans, is thrilled to announce its exciting collaboration and co-organization partnership with Karnavali Thessalonikis, one of the city’s most vibrant and beloved cultural events.
This historic collaboration brings together two iconic celebrations of rhythm, movement, and community · the elegant passion of tango, salsa, bachata, Greek folk and the exuberant spirit of carnival · to create an unforgettable experience for locals and visitors alike.
Thessaloniki Tango Party, known for its philanthropic mission, international reach, and inclusive dance philosophy, proudly joins the creative and festive team behind Karnavali Thessalonikis to contribute to a shared vision: a city alive with celebration, diversity, and joy.
From open-air milongas to colorful parades, and from Latin-American music music to carnival drums, the fusion of these two institutions will bring a new dimension to both festivals. Participants can expect dance showcases, interactive workshops, themed dance nights, and joyful street activations throughout Thessaloniki.
Festival Directors Pavlos Mavromatis (Tango Secrets) and Spiros Alexiou (Tango Thessaloniki) shared:
"Bringing the energy of tango, salsa, bachata, Greek folk to the heartbeat of the city's carnival is a dream come true. This partnership shows that culture can unite us with joy and creativity. Thessaloniki just became the capital of both passion and party!"
This collaboration marks a new era for both events, reinforcing Thessaloniki’s role as a leading cultural destination in Europe.
