Romanian Social – Romanian Blouse Edition

Romanians of DC cordially invites you to a new edition of “Romanian Social” which will take place on Wednesday, June 26 starting at 6 pm. This edition will be dedicated to the Universal Day of the Romanian Blouse which was first recognized here in Washington, DC in 2015 when the Mayor declared June 24 the Day of the Romanian Folk Costume in the Nation’s Capital. This is a free event organized with the support of Alianța. No tickets required.

For this edition, we encourage all attendees to embrace our theme by wearing a traditional Romanian blouse, an “ie.” To make it more exciting, everyone who dons an “ie” will be entered into a raffle for a chance to win a free bottle of champagne at the event’s conclusion.

The Romanian Socials are designed to create a space and a community in which Romanian and Moldovan professionals and students and also friends of Romania and of the Republic of Moldova are able to network and know one another. They often feature special guests, including Ambassadors and elected officials, while at the same time offering an opportunity to reconnect with old friends, to make new ones and to meet fellow Romanian and Moldovan professionals from the Washington, DC area.

This edition of the Romanian Social will take place on the second floor of the Mayflower Club located at 1223 Connecticut Ave NW, Washington, DC, or if weather permits on the patio. The club is just a short walk from the Dupont Circle Metro Stop (O Street Exit) and a 5–10-minute walk from the Farragut North Metro Station (L Street Exit) on the Red Line. The restaurant will feature an assortment of Romanian and Moldovan wines offered at happy hour prices until 9:00 pm.
