WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The Embassy of The Bahamas, in partnership with THINGS TO
DO DC, hosted a Caribbean Celebration and Charity Fundraising Event at the Organization
of American States (OAS) main building at 17th Street and
Constitution Avenue, N.W. on Saturday, October 3, 2015.
Approximately 300 persons attended the reception-style event, which
involved Caribbean food, a Caribbean
open bar with promotional rum tasting from several Caribbean countries and
Caribbean music. One of the primary
goals of the event was to expose young professionals in Washington DC to the
rich cultural diversity of The Caribbean.
