Embassy Festival

Explore the world in one day

On 7 September, Lange Voorhout will turn into a bustling hub of cultural festivities during the Embassy Festival. Visitors can look forward to performances, traditional dances, live music and much more. 

Feel the rhythm, taste the world! 

This year, Embassy Festival brings the performances closer to the audience, the lowered stages are set amidst the International market and the artists from all over the world take you personally through their unique performances. Besides the cultural discoveries, you will also enjoy culinary delights. Almost all countries serve their freshly prepared ‘signature dishes’ with great pride. Often for a small price, but sometimes for free, you can also buy souvenirs and local products at the stands. 

The Culture Parade

Colourful outfits, shining pride and waving flags; at 15:05, the festive procession across the festival grounds kicks off and all 47 participants in traditional dress show off their cultural characteristics. Be there with the whole family and enjoy this merry procession!  

Activity Passport

Discover more of the world and the festival by collecting as many stamps as possible in the Activity Passport. Be challenged (together with your kids), take part in the (mini-)workshops and gather facts about the unique backgrounds of so many cultures, and then you will also have a chance to win great prizes! You can pick up your Activity Passport at the Embassy stand (see the map on the website).
