About King's Day Celebration (Koningsdag)
The tradition of celebrating the birthdays of Dutch Monarchs started in the 1880's when Princess Wilhelmina's birthday was celebrated. It became a tradition and an intricate part of Dutch culture by making it a national holiday with parties, free markets, games, music, and merriment.
Koningsdag is not just celebrated in The Netherlands, but also by Dutch and Dutch minded communities abroad. Since 2005, Dutch communities in San Diego gather to celebrate King's Day, the birthday of sitting Monarch, King Willem-Alexander.
