Concert Hall
The festival will take place in a beautiful and spacious concert hall, located in the historic management building in the heart of the port of Gdynia. In 1922, the port of Gdynia celebrated its 100th anniversary, and in 1923, the ceremonial opening took place. The building was built in the years when tango was gaining its greatest popularity in the port districts of Buenos Aires, hence the idea to place the event in modern times in a place that, like no other, refers to the sources where sailors and port workers met to forget about everyday life. Among the tangueros, there are now more professions, but the reason for meeting remains the same.
Port Gdynia
Currently, the Port of Gdynia is a universal port and one of the leading ports of the southern Baltic. It specializes in handling general cargo, mainly unitized, transported in containers and in the ro-ro system. An important segment of activity is also the handling of bulk cargo based on specialized terminals. The Port of Gdynia is a recognized brand in transport and logistics systems around the world.
