Posted by Richard Melsheimer May 21, 2026
Join Democrats Abroad Belgium (DAB) at David Lloyd Uccle for a festive evening of food, fun, and community as we celebrate our 250th Independence Day in true American style!

🎸 Live Music from the Virginia Reels
Come do a do-si-do and swing your partner round and round!
The Virginia Reels play classic country and western music by legends like Johnny Cash and Loretta Lynn, blending rich harmonies with fiddle, banjo, electric guitar and accordion. Expect a laid-back show that draws on our Texan and Virginian roots to deliver songs of love and heartbreak.
Adults: €45 / $52 (includes €9 /$10 donation to DAB)
Youth (8–12):€25 / $29
Children under 8: Free (€0.01 / $0.01)
Tickets can be purchased at the link below and must be purchased in advance. This event is open to DAB, the American Club of Brussels, and friends – the more, the merrier! However, while tickets can be used by anyone, only US citizens may purchase tickets.
The donated portion of the ticket price will go to fund DAB's activities ahead of the 2026 midterms, such as printings for our protests, stamps for our postcard campaigns and other get-out-the-vote initiatives. Thank you for your support!
