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.
