The Passion for Tango Society presents a yearly professional arts festival, the Victoria Tango Festival (Tango Fest). The Mission of Passion for Tango Society is: to produce an arts festival for the general public, to present professional performers who strive for excellence in their genre and who show innovation in their work, and to further the Canadian development of tango as an art form. Our constitution allows us to present all art forms and our mandate supports a broad scope of artists who work in any art form with the subject matter of tango or who use tango as a medium for their creativity.

As part of our mandate, Passion for Tango Society also presents workshops for professional artists. Nurturing tango in this way increases the resources of performers in Western Canada. Passion for Tango Society encourages musicians/dancers of other genres to gain knowledge of tango to include in their creative endeavors. We also present artists who fuse tango with other genres.

The Victoria Tango Festival is a showcase for tango artists, which other BC music presenters attend. Artists report to us that they receive other bookings after performing in our festival. Musicians and dancers also let us know that they incorporate tango into their repertoire, as arts patrons are now more aware of tango due to Tango Fest.

Headlining Concert: Trio Garufa
