The kizomba year starts early. The big winter events in Platja d'Aro, Paris, Munich, and Milan all land in November and December 2026, and the calendar then runs through spring congresses in Romania, Spain, and Bosnia all the way to a September weekend in Budapest. This guide covers twelve events across ten countries, from a Tangier congress expecting 1,500 dancers to a 120-person retreat in Goa.
Every date, venue, price, and lineup detail here comes from our verified festival database, and each card links to the full festival page with the current program and ticket details. Six of the twelve currently take a discount code at checkout; the codes are listed on the cards below.
At a Glance
Winter 2026/27 Season Openers
If you want a full kizomba weekend before the new year, Europe delivers. These four events run between mid-November and just before Christmas 2026, and all four put kizomba first on the schedule. They open the 2026/27 winter season, so if you are reading this in autumn, they are the next passes to grab.
The formats could not be more different: an 80-hour marathon on the Costa Brava, a five-day congress at an airport Hilton, a curated studio weekender, and a four-floor hotel takeover in Milan. For events that already happened earlier this year, see last season's kizomba festival picks.

How to Plan a Kizomba Festival Trip
Seven of the twelve festivals here run in hotel venues, and at several the hotel is the event: Neverending runs everything inside Hotel Nautic Park, Cluj puts workshops, parties, and rooms under Grand Hotel Napoca's roof, and Kizomba Rafting bundles bungalow accommodation and full board (vegan options included) into the pass. At hotel festivals the room stock is part of the ticket logic, so book the pass and the room together, and early. Dance Casa in Budapest goes further and releases tickets in limited phases with no guaranteed restocks.
