EMBASSY FESTIVAL

Something special happens on the Lange Voorhout: the whole world fits into a single day.

At the Embassy Festival almost fifty cultures mingle freely — drums pull you in, scents lure you off course, a hand on your shoulder says “join us”. Two lively stages, an international market packed with flavours, crafts and workshops. No real passport needed. Just grab your free Activity Passport, collect stamps, stories and prizes, and follow your curiosity. Come for the music, the food and the stories. Stay for the encounters, the smiles from strangers and the joyful discovery of everything that makes us different… and everything that brings us together. Travel light. The world is waiting for you in The Hague.
