Ancona is the place for tango lovers
September 22, 2008
Ancona is the place to visit for those who love music and dance festivals as much as they love to travel. Ancona has one of the most interesting types of festivals to take place all throughout the world is the festival celebrating the tango. When we heard about it we couldn’t wait to get there. Throughout the journey in our hired car we talked excitedly of the forthcoming events. The tango, such a passionate dance with a rich history which allows it to be celebrated with a fervour missing in many other festivals. Although Ancona is not the original home of the tango, there is an annual festival which takes place there each August to celebrate the famous dance. This festival hasn’t been always been around, only a few years, but it is one of the festivals of Ancona which really shouldn’t be missed. If we hadn’t stopped the car for a break and a chat with fellow travellers on the way to Ancona we would have done exactly that!! It isn’t only the tango music influencing a festival which takes place in the area. Better known than this festival, is the summer jazz festival held during July. This festival lasts several days and includes performances at many venues. Perhaps more interesting to some travellers is the annual Summer Jamboree. This music festival has live bands and DJ’s coming from all throughout the world to perform for the locals and travellers who are in Ancona during August.
