Every year, we set aside a block of rooms at a greatly discounted rate for our festival goers. The Henry Clay is literally connected to the Hilton Garden Inn - click here for our exclusive special rates! Guests can also call the hotel directly at 502.584.5175 - use the code LTF20.

The Clay Commons public garage is located directly behind The Henry Clay with access from Chestnut St. There are also surface parking lots located directly across from The Henry Clay on Third and Chestnut Streets. Together these options offer over 900 parking spaces. We are offering a huge parking discount: $15 for all three Festival days. (Sign-up available at time of registration; no individual days available.) Once you arrive at the Festival itself, pick up your parking voucher at the registration desk - to be placed behind the windshield of your vehicle.

Louisville International Airport is only 7 miles from The Henry Clay. A cab from the airport is about a 15-20 min. ride (and costs about $20).

Absolutely! We have a five-course beginner workshop that takes place through the whole weekend to help you learn. There will be a special novice Milonga on Friday to prepare you for the evening Milongas. For more information click here!

Have some cash on hand (for the bar, food, private lessons, etc). 

When you arrive, swing by the Registration Table to pick up your wrist band, hand stamp, and/or ticket (depending on your registration). Keep these on you at all times. (They are not transferable. If lost, you may be charged a replacement fee.)

It might take two to tango, but it takes far more than that to make our festival possible.
