See you in Europe!

 

On Saturday May 9, 2009, the EU Embassies and the EU Commission Delegation will have their third annual «European Union Open House Day».

 

From 10:00 am to 4:00 pm, visitors will get a rare behind-the-scenes look at the EU Embassies, many of which are among Washington's historic and architectural treasures. Each Embassy will present its activities and offer a unique program featuring the country's cuisine, music, and other events for the whole family.

 

In 2008, more than 50,000 visitors experienced the diversity and richness of European culture. This year, the EU Open House Day inaugurates Europe Week (May 9-16).

Take a tour (20 minutes) of the Embassy and meet the Ambassador in his office for a brief chat. View a short movie "Portugal Go Deeper" and watch a music video of talented fado singers and musicians. Sample traditional Portuguese custard tarts, sweet bread and Port Wine, and try your luck with free raffles (t-shirts, caps and other prizes).

 

Taking place in Europe Day, the 2009 Open House kicks off Europe Week, a celebration of European Culture in the US capital and around the country.
