Celebrate King's Day in Den Helder, Julianadorp and Huisduinen

King's Day at Den Helder is a celebration for everyone. From the atmospheric streets in the city center to the lively Loopuytpark in Julianadorp and the coast of Huisduinen, music, flea markets, activities, and fun are buzzing everywhere. From the Orange Market and live music to a lively atmosphere in Julianadorp, Huisduinen, and Willemsoord: on Monday, April 27, there is plenty of celebrating for young and old at Den Helder.

There is already plenty to experience around King's Day as well. On April 24, the impressive King's March winds through the city center. Midshipmen from the Royal Netherlands Naval Institute will pay a special military tribute to King Willem-Alexander. A moment full of tradition, discipline, and maritime pride.
And on April 26, during the Orange Market on King's Night, stroll past stalls full of treasures, treats, and music in the city center. The perfect start to a festive weekend.

Celebrate King's Day at Den Helder!
