Queen's Birthday Celebration (Koninginnedag)
Saturday April 24th, 2010
2008 queen's birthdate
 
In the Netherlands, the Dutch Queen's official birthday (Koninginnedag) is a national holiday. Orange, the color of the day, stems from the royal family name - The Family Nassau, House of Orange.

This is a special day at Nelis' Dutch Village with rides, crafts, balloons, and the chance to make your own Crown. The Queens Birthday Celebration marks the opening day of our park for the 2010 season. The day will include many Dutch oriented games and activities for families.

Animals to feed, "walk a goat" and many other hands-on fun activities, as well all the sights and sounds of our Netherlands village make this a real party celebrating the Queen's birthday and our park opening day.
