What to expect: Tango musicians, dancers and fans from around the world coming together for the largest Tango festival in the Midwest, which sets up shop for the week at the Double Tree Hotel and the adjacent North Shore Center for the Performing Arts.

Why to go: Enjoy the live music, participate in one of the 42 dance classes and be swept off your feet by Argentine tango masters. In addition to watching people tango, you'll get to strap on your perty shoes and learn some moves yourself at one of the many workshops throughout the week. Don't have a dance partner? They'll find you one.
