Meet Europe’s local voices
Discover the political diversity of Europe through the political groups of the European Committee of the Regions. At dedicated stands, you can learn how local and regional elected representatives work together across political lines — and meet some of them in person during Europe Day.
It’s a unique chance to put faces and conversations to Europe’s local democracy.
Discover regions and countries from across Europe
Travel across Europe without leaving Brussels. Regions and countries from across the EU will invite you to discover their identity, creativity, and local pride.
At their stands, you can:
- Explore regions that want to make their place better known
- Enjoy tastings of local specialities
- Pick up fun goodies and souvenirs
- Get inspired for your next trip
From familiar favourites to hidden gems, Europe’s diversity is waiting to be explored.
