WASHINGTON (April 19, 2023) — Members of DC’s diplomatic community are preparing to open embassy doors for thousands of visitors during Around the World Embassy Tour on Saturday, May 6.

One of DC’s greatest spring traditions is back and is bigger than ever, with more than 60 embassies — a record for this event — participating. Events DC produces the event, which is part of Passport DC, the District’s month-long cultural celebration.

During Around the World Embassy Tour, participants travel the world and are treated to food, fashion, music, art and more, as each embassy showcases some of the best their countries have to offer. Nearly 27,000 visitors attend each year, and this year, 10 embassies are participating for the first time.

An opening VIP reception will be held at the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China. It will be held at 9:30 a.m. at 3505 International Place NW, featuring traditional cultural performances.
