The Bulletin hosts another unmissable US Election Night party

11:46 26/09/2012

It’s red versus blue on November 6 as voters go to the polls to choose the next president of the United States of America. As the results start trickling in, The Bulletin and the American Club of Brussels will host the capital and country’s biggest party. Officially opening the event are US Ambassador to Belgium Howard Gutman and Jamie Shea from Nato, with Belgian foreign minister Didier Reynders invited to join them. More than 3,500 people attended the 2008 event where they saw Barack Obama and Joe Biden win one of the most significant US elections of the past 100 years. Now President Obama is going to the polls to fend off Republican contender Mitt Romney in the hope of winning another four-year term. Replicating the tussle taking place across the Atlantic, Belgian Democrats Abroad and Republicans Abroad will take to the floor to stage a debate. Other entertainment includes live country and western music from Brussels’ own Saint-Gillbillies, a tombola and stands hosted by various American clubs and associations. The festivities start at 20.30 with American-themed food and drink plus a cash bar. Sample West Coast wines and enjoy hot dogs and other ‘Uncle Sam’ specialities. Book your ticket now for this Election Night extravaganza at the Renaissance Brussels Hotel, 19 Rue du Parnasse.
