People who make it happen
Brick Robbins
Organizer
This is the fourth edition of the San Diego Tango Marathon. We came back after the pandemic with a totally reimagined event due to all the changes in our city's infrastructure, and we made an better event. This year we are fine tuning a few things, to bring you a more incredible experience, showcasing America's Finest City which we call home, and hoping to show you even more of it.
I've been involved in tango for a couple of decades and organize, teach and DJ locally and around the country. My work at festivals and marathons as a DJ and sound engineer gives me the ability to feed my tango addiction and attend a lot of events. I've tried to take the best ideas from these diverse celebrations and incorporate them into the San Diego Tango Marathon. With enormous help from my co-conspirators and volunteers, we think we have made something unique and special for you.
We hope you enjoy our beloved "America's Finest City."
