Guerrilla Tango in Balboa Park

Friday, 16 Aug 2024, 3-6pm

We moved the Friday pre-event romp from the Harbor to Balboa Park, because the Waterfront Park fountains are closed for the rest of the year. But never fear! There will be fountains!

This is free and open everyone: all tango dancers, attending the marathon or not, and anyone who just wants to watch.

We will meet at 3pm at the Bea Evenson Fountain Located on the Prado just off Park Blvd, between the Natural History Museum and the Fleet Science Center (map).

Bring a hat and sunscreen!

We will dance around the fountain (but not in it - I'm looking at you America M!) on the dry tile that surrounds it.

There are shade trees and benches in the plaza, and the snack bar is open till 5pm. We will have water and snacks.

When we decide the time is right, we will wander down the Prado for more hit and run guerilla dancing. We may even encounter some live music! The other surfaces we may encounter include pollished concrete, marble, and wood, they are all danceable. Think Buenos Aires dance floors. The distance between dance spots isn't far, but might be on asphault: choose your shoes accordingly.

Check on the facbook event for updates on our location.

Public Transport from the Airport

You can reach the fountain by taking the airport bus to downtown, and take either the 7 or the 215, which stops close to the fountain. Google Maps is the best way to find the connection. We will get you a ride when we are done

America! Stop It!

The sign cleary says stay out of the water!
