Every July, around 60,000 dance enthusiasts gather in Seinajoki for the Finnish Tango Festival, one of the world's oldest and largest tango events.

Highlights include the quirky AirTango performances, where dancers perform without partners, and the competition to crown Finland's Tango King and Queen through singing rather than dancing.

Originally from Argentina, tango has developed a unique Finnish style and remains a popular way for people to connect. The festival's mix of melancholy, romance and joy reflects what many see as the essence of the Finnish spirit.
