The Embassy Festival returns to the Lange Voorhout on Saturday 5 September, bringing cultures from across the world together in the heart of The Hague.
From 12:00 to 20:00, the historic avenue will be transformed into an international meeting place filled with music, dance, food, traditional clothing, crafts and cultural activities. The festival is free to visit.
At the International Market, countries from around the world present their culture in very different ways. Visitors can discover everything from Algerian food, jewellery and henna art to Argentinian empanadas and wine, Cameroonian textiles and music, Canadian maple syrup and Ecuadorian coffee and crafts.
Live music and dance are an important part of the festival, while the Activity Passport encourages visitors to stop, participate and discover more about the countries represented rather than simply walking past the stands.
For The Hague’s international community, Embassy Festival is also a particularly fitting celebration of the city’s diversity. Embassies, international communities, cultural organisations, performers and food exhibitors come together for a day that is as much about meeting people as it is about experiencing different traditions.
