Saturday, May 10, 2025 from 10 am to 4 pm
EU Open House is a day dedicated to the discovery of the European Union (EU) member countries’ chanceries around Washington, DC. It is a day in which we celebrate Europe Day by opening the doors of EU Member States’ chanceries to the public so that Americans can catch a glimpse of the European cultures that make up the EU.
This event falls every year on the first Saturday after Europe Day on May 9. This date marks the signing of the Schuman Declaration on May 9, 1950, which established the European Coal and Steel Community, a multinational entity that would eventually become the European Union as we know it today.
We celebrate Europe Day by opening our doors to the public so that Americans can catch a glimpse of the European cultures that make up the European Union. Normally you have to cross the Atlantic to visit the EU, but at Open House, you just have to cross the street!
