Croatian community of Washington DC - Hrvatska Ura

Croatian community of Washington DC - Hrvatska Ura Hrvatska Ura (HURA) Hrvatska Ura (HURA) was organized and exists in order to preserve and promote Croatian heritage, identity and culture.

The Croatian American Club HURA, in Washington DC is an organization founded in May of 2010 by Croatians in the Washington DC metropolitan area. The organization consists of many generations of the Croatian diaspora in the United States of America and their friends, our members have rich and diverse professional backgrounds. Over recent years it evolved in to a powerful networking organization and

tool serving the local Croatian community, friends and visitors in the area. Our focus is to build cultural, economic, scientific and personal bridges with Croatia and energize the US diaspora by focusing on specific topics and projects, but within the means of an all-volunteer organization"

HURA events take place most commonly at the Embassy of the Republic of Croatia which has generously offered its space and infrastructure support to our community. However, HURA steering committee, program calendar and schedules are independently run and do not represent by any means the official position of the Croatian Embassy or Croatian Government. We are grateful however to prior and current Croatian ambassadors and embassy staff for their support.

A small stamp, a big story—and a fitting venue with a bit of Croatian flair! 🇭🇷

We are delighted to invite our friends to the opening of the exhibition Philately in Croatia: Postage Stamp – Insignia of National Identity, taking place on May 4 at 6 PM at the Torpedo Factory Art Center—a place whose name serendipitously nods to one of Croatia’s famous inventions. 😉

This marks the first in a series of events through which the Embassy will be bringing a taste of Croatia to Alexandria—let’s call it a gentle warm-up for the FIFA World Cup 2026 and for welcoming our Vatreni when they arrive. ⚽

A sincere thank you to the Alexandria City Council, Mayor Alyia Gaskins, and Visit Alexandria for their support in helping bring this exhibition to life.

Join us as we explore how postage stamps tell the story of a nation—one small piece at a time.
