Saturday, April 26
This year, King's Day falls on Sunday, April 27, so the celebrations in the Netherlands take place a day earlier: on Saturday, April 26. And of course, we are joining in – with a festive flair and a splash of orange!
Looking for a different kind of King’s Day, away from the busy city crowds? Come to Kinderdijk and celebrate in the heart of the Dutch countryside. Put on your favorite orange outfit and explore this one-of-a-kind place during our national holiday. Meet the miller, hop aboard the tour boat, and take a look inside the historic Wisboom Pumping Station. Tickets are easy to book online.
Make your day even more special with a guided tour by a local expert. Learn all about how the windmills work, what life is like for the miller families, and why this part of the Netherlands is so unique. Fun and educational – for all ages!
Need a break with a view of the windmills? Absolutely! Drop by the Visitor Center, where a festive orange snack or drink is waiting for you in the Kinderdijk-cafe.
Celebrate a cheerful, relaxed, and truly Dutch King’s Day – among the windmills!
