Friends Fjord and Tango International Queer Tango Festival 2026

 

Friends, Fjord & Tango is a celebration of freedom, connection and dancing on your own terms. Open, creative, and proudly non-traditional—this is tango for the alternative community. If you love dancing both roles with anyone, just being yourself, this is the place for you. New friends guaranteed!

We come together in Oslo to share laughter, connect over delicious meals, and enjoy a special trip to Gressholmen island. Look forward to day- and evening milongas, dancing in a space that celebrates openness, creativity, and community.

Expect bold and inspiring DJs from the Scandinavian scene, a live orchestra and the Sunday dance and lunch on the island Gressholmen, with classical tango records on retro gramophone.
