King’s Day (Koningsdag)
The Dutch community celebrates 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 honor 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 The 15th annual State of Ohio Birthday Celebration of the Netherlands' Monarch will take place May 2nd starting at 6PM at Silver Lake Country Club.
