The most prominent Milonga Weekend is El Corte’s Chained Salon: basically it’s an event where multiple milongas (i.e. tango dance events with beginning and end, which means often different people, too) are aligned in a way that enables many dancing hours during a weekend; usually many more than regular milongas would offer in a city or region.
Milonga Weekends are open events: there is no required pre-registration, and thus there is no planned gender or role balance.
In some analogy, Buenos Aires could be called a Permanent Milonga Series.
