EU Open House 2024
Explore Spanish culture through its art, gastronomy, and more as EU Embassies in Washington, D.C. open their doors to showcase European culture in this free event.
Visit Spain without leaving D.C.! Come see us on Saturday, May 11, as part of the EU Open House. Together with our European partners in D.C., we’ll be showing off all that Spain and Europe have to offer at the Former Residence of the Ambassadors of Spain, for free and with no need to register.
Culture, food and fun
Sample Spain with a plate of paella, a pintxo of tortilla española (Spanish omelette), a sip of a refreshing Spanish beer, or a taste of some delicious chorizo. Join us in this celebration and plan your next trip with the Spanish Tourism Office or enter for a chance to win an official jersey of one of the leading soccer teams from La Liga.
An event for the whole family
We want people of all ages to enjoy and learn about everything Spain has to offer. From bracelets, face paint, and Spanish “passport” stamps to science experiments led by ECUSA, the Association of Spanish Scientists in the United States, your kids will have their very own place at our Open House.
