Hispanic Origins / October 8th at Hilton The Hague.
In the month of October 2016 we will be celebrating again the event “Hispanic Origins” in The Hague. After the very well visited edition 2015, the edition 2016 of Hispanic Origins will take place on the 8th of October at the Hilton The Hague hotel.
Like the past year visitors will be able to enjoy concerts, dance performances, exhibitions and the gastronomic delights of many Hispanic countries. Since the moment Columbus discovered America on the 12th of October 1492, the Spanish and Portuguese have influenced the development of countries and cultures on the continent. Nowadays, all these different countries have their own culture, traditions and customs although they still share their common origin. To celebrate this mix of diversity based on equality, Hispanic Origins is organised each year around the 12th of October, the date on which America was discovered. This date is especially chosen because it is a holiday celebrated by many people around the world who have a Spanish heritage.
The event is for all culture lovers and particularly to people interested in the traditions and peculiarities of Hispanic countries.
‘Nearly all the tickets for the 2015 edition were sold before the event even took place. One hour after opening all the remaining tickets were sold as well which meant all the 450 available tickets were sold out. To allow more people to join the event in 2016, a bigger venue has been chosen.‘ Said Cristina Galbe, from Galbe Events & Catering, organiser of the event.
The event will take place from 15:00 until 21:00 and visitors are offered a child’s program in the afternoon, followed by a food & culture show after which the evening show takes place. The food & culture show consists of a variety of shows, culinary presentations and expositions.
The embassies of all the different participating countries have supported in organising the program, both by offering the culinary presentations and providing entertainment for the visitors. During the evening show from 18:00 to 21:00, a variety of performances of song and dance can be enjoyed.
