Europe Day in the National Capital

To mark the 69th anniversary of the Schuman Declaration – known as Europe Day – the Delegation of the European Union to Canada and the Embassies of EU Member States are hosting a day-long cultural fair at Lansdowne Park on Sunday, 26 May.

The celebration features live music, folk dance performances, games and activities for children, in addition to sampling of European traditional foods and beverages. What’s more, outdoor enthusiasts and those in a competitive mood will have the unique chance to brush up on their Irish hurling skills, courtesy of Éire Óg Ottawa Hurling Club, or try their hand at Mölkky – Finland’s traditional skittle-throwing game.

Throughout the day, participants will also have the opportunity to learn more about Europe’s tourist and cultural destinations on display at the stands organized by the diplomatic missions.

Participating EU Member States are Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Cyprus, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden.
