The Hague, an international city

The Hague is the international city of peace and justice that brings the world together. Being the embassy city of the Netherlands, the population of The Hague is a very international one, with one in three inhabitants having roots abroad. The Embassy Festival, collaborating with the embassies of nearly 40 countries, showcases the cultural richness of this dynamic city. 

So many different countries are represented at the festival. Last year was impressively varied, featuring countries from Kuwait to Tanzania, from Uzbekistan to Kosovo, from Nigeria to Denmark. Be sure to attend to see which countries you'll be discovering this year!
