We highly recommend watching this very special video, recorded all over The Hague! Guzheng (Chinese plucked zither) is a traditional Chinese instrument with a history of more than 2,500 years. It can be dated back to the Warring States period (475–221 BC). This song is an adaptation from a traditional Chinese poem written by Li Bai, who was a Chinese poet. You can view it on our programme page on embassyfestival.com (link in our bio). #embassyfestival

Embassy at home visited by more than 15.000 digital visitors!
Bringing cultures together from all over the world and offering an experience that inspires and connects. That’s the mission of the Embassy Festival. The eighth edition couldn’t take place at the Lange Voorhout this year due to the Coronavirus, so an online edition was put together. More than 15.000 people checked in via the festival website and hundreds of people bought an Embassy Festival Wine and/or Surprise Box. Many visited the Embassy Festival office at the Noordeinde in The Hague to pick them up and just as many were sent to addresses all over the Netherlands. By doing this, the always enticing International Market was brought to the homes of the festival visitors. To complete the experience, a broad selection of music, cooking workshops, interviews with ambassadors, dance videos and more were published on the Embassy Festival website. Read the full press-release via the link in our bio!
And to you, our visitors, a million thank you's! See you next year! ❤️
