Traditionally, many delegations organise a party to welcome the press and fans. Besides that, it's a nice way to promote your song and participant!

It's already party time tonight, with a joint Mediterranean party organised by Cyprus, Greece and Malta. Meanwhile, Deen (Bosnia & Herzegovina) gives a party in the EuroClub.
