Winternational 2025
Last December, we welcomed 8,000 guests and 70 embassies and cultural organizations for the 12th Annual Winternational Embassy Showcase, presented by the World Trade Center Washington, DC (WTCDC). From vibrant performances and global exhibits to special remarks and surprise moments, this year’s Showcase truly captured the power of cultural exchange and international connection.
This year also debuted a dedicated Performance Stage, showcasing 12 international dance troupes, plus the first-ever Best Embassy Exhibit Awards with Algeria, Ethiopia, and Malaysia earning Judges’ Choice honors and Saudi Arabia taking home the People’s Choice Award. Thank you to all participating embassies, performers, partners, and sponsors for helping make this the nation’s largest and most dynamic embassy marketplace!
We look ahead to welcoming the world back for the 2026 Winternational Embassy Showcase, with the official date to be announced this February. Embassies interested in participating may contact tradeinfo@rrbitc.com, and those seeking sponsorship opportunities are invited to connect with Allyson McKithen.
Be part of one of Washington, DC’s most celebrated cultural traditions.
