About this Event

Travel to Africa for an amazing celebration of Ethiopian culture – without ever leaving the DMV! In addition, this event will be one of the first receptions to officially welcome the new Ethiopian Ambassador to the United States.

Ethiopia is a country of rich culture, strong heritage, and amazing landscapes. Celebrate their culture like you never experienced before! Journey into the heart of Africa as we step onto the soil of Ethiopia, the oldest independent nation in Africa.

This ancient land is a land of stunning natural beauty covering an area twice the size of Kenya, France, or Texas. This country offers a rich diversity of culture and geography that captivates any visitor. It contains a mosaic of people with over 80 different languages, reflecting over 100 cultures.
