King's Day, what am I going to do?

Wilmpie is having his birthday

This Saturday it's happening! Wilmpie is having his birthday, and as Dutch people, we take that as a perfect excuse to party hard. But with so many activities on the agenda, it can be tricky to keep track. Don't panic, we're here to help you organize your King's Day plans, so all you have to worry about is how you're going to drag your friends along.

Score an Orange Outfit

First things first, let's talk about the outfit. Because let's be honest, King's Day is the perfect moment to go all out with your clothing and accessories. Whether you opt for the classic red-white-blue face paint or go for a complete orange outfit, the choice is yours. And the best news? You don't necessarily have to buy something new because, let's face it, King's Day is already expensive enough! Just dive into your wardrobe and jazz up your outfit with orange accessories that you can quickly score in the city this week. Tip: A fun pair of glasses, a hat, and a bag always do the trick.

Are you also celebrating King's Night?

But now, onto the partying, King's Night! The party actually starts on Friday, so after college or school, it's time to decide where you're going. Concerts, festivals, or just a night out in your own city; the choice is endless. But remember, take it easy because you want to be fresh and lively for King's Day itself.
