As President Biden and first lady Jill Biden welcome Kenyan President William Ruto to America this week, the White House staff is preparing for a special evening on May 23, when the Bidens will hold a state dinner to honor their guest.

This will be the first state visit by a Kenyan head of state in two decades and the first by an African head of state since 2008.

For over a century, American presidents have used these formal dinners to foster diplomacy, where official guests mingle with notable celebrities, savor specially tailored cuisine and enjoy performances from renowned entertainers.

Are you ready to experience a state dinner? This digital story from the State Department puts you front and center in the White House dining room.
