Koningsdag staat volledig in het teken van Nederlandse tradities, en wat is er meer Nederlands dan Heineken?
Kom op 27 april de verjaardag van de koning vieren op de plek waar Heineken geboren is. Laat ons je het verhaal vertellen van hoe een kleine, Nederlandse brouwerij het meest premium biermerk ter wereld werd. Voor één dag zullen we ons groen combineren met oranje en zullen we een hoop verrassingen organiseren voor onze gasten, zoals oer Hollandse lekkernijen en traditionele spelletjes.
Kom genieten van een dag vol authentieke ervaringen op misschien wel de meest Nederlandse dag van het jaar. En als je geluk hebt wordt je misschien wel onze Koning of Koningin voor een dag.
Ben je klaar voor een echte koninklijke behandeling? Boek dan nu je tickets!
King’s Day (previously Princess Day and Queen’s Day) is a national holiday in the Kingdom of the Netherlands, in honour of the head of state. King’s Day gets celebrated with various festivities including free markets, traditional games and festivals, and everyone gets dressed up in orange.
The colour orange refers to the family name of the Dutch royal family, the House of Orange-Nassau. Their ancestor, William of Orange, is the founder of the Netherlands. The colour orange symbolizes our national unity and the Dutch express their national pride by wearing orange.
The Netherlands always had queens since 1890, and so we were celebrating Queen’s Day all this time. It was only with King Willem-Alexander, who became our King in 2013, that we’ve switched to King’s Day for the first time in history. The reason that we celebrate it on the 27th of April, is because it is the birthday of our King!
King’s Day is a National Holiday in the Netherlands, which means that everyone has a day off. Except for the King! On King’s Day, the Royal Family pays a ceremonial visit to one or more municipalities with a central function in the country. The family joins in the celebration, during which the city and the surrounding places can present themselves in a festive and characteristic way.
Are you looking for the best thing to do on King’s day? That’s an easy one.. visit the Heineken Experience! But, if you have some time left, make sure to check out the free market in the Vondelpark, walk around in the Jordaan, take a look at all the boats sailing through the canals and of course, make sure to dress up in orange
