After A DECADE of great Succesful Queen'sday parties in San Francisco, the same group brings you the first KINGSDAY party EVER!

KETEL ONE promotion team will be there handing out gifts
HEINEKEN promotion team will be there handing out gifts

For everyone who has been to a Crazy Orange Dutch Queen's day party, knows how much fun they are.
The name may have changed slightly but the festive spirit of the day is sure to remain! You'll be treated to a sea of orange as everyone is covered head to toe in oranje (orange) as a show of pride for the Dutch Royal family, the House of Orange-Nassau.

Ater 10 Queen's day Parties, NLBorrels, EuroCircle and DJ Marc van Brabant will team up again to create a Dutch Party in San Francisco. It is the biggest King's Night Party west of the Missisppi.

So what can you expect:

A couple of hundred Dutch Expats, Students, and Dutch People who have been in the United States for Decades but arrange a baby sitter for this Crazy Orange Night :) Plus all the people who have been in Amsterdam for this great Party and can't go to Holland this year will surely attend this party. The one thing in common that is they all be wearing orange and partying together to Dutch Music from 8PM-10PM and then it will transform in a Dutch DJ festival with the newest beats from Holland mixed to together with some Dutch Remixed Classics to 1.30AM

History of King's Day

The entire country of the Netherlands will celebrate King’s Day (Koningsdag) for the first time in 2014, after the inauguration of King Willem-Alexander on 30 April 2013 (what was then still Queen’s Day).

The royal celebrations were first held on 31 August 1885 in honour of the birth of Queen Wilhelmina, and the Queen’s Day (Koninginnedag) tradition was born. After Wilhelmina’s daughter (Juliana) succeeded to the throne in 1949, the day was changed to 30 April in accordance with the new Queen's birthday.

When she became queen, the now Princess Beatrix chose to retain the day in honour of her mother but as of 2014, King’s Day will officially be celebrated on 27 April (the king’s birthday). However, the event is traditionally not celebrated on a Sunday which means that the first King's Night is the start of the weekend activities on Friday April 25.
