Until recently, I would guess the annual Tangomarkkinat in Seinajoki, Finland. When I was there in 2004, it ran for five days, 10:00AM to 4:00AM daily. Most of the music was live, too. Very strange to dance so close to the arctic circle, too. It never really got dark.
Sorry to report the Tangomarkkinat has been in a bit of a decline lately. They've cut the last day and attendance is down from the 2003 peak of 121,000. According to John of Bristol, they will have a formal Argentine program in addition to the Finnish stuff. -R -----Original Message----- From: Vince Bagusauskas <vy...@hotmail.com> To: tango-l@mit.edu Sent: Mon, Jul 19, 2010 3:36 am Subject: [Tango-L] Tango marathons With Melbourne holding separate 9 and 20 hour celebratory tango marathons including dancing, performances, competitions) in the next few months, I onder what is the longest marathon you have ever been too and what were our experiences and thoughts about it all? Personally, I think it is an opportunity to have people from across the ountry come together and enjoy not only the dancing but the also the ocializing.
