King’s Day in The Hague

King’s Day in The Hague is celebrated in style, with the funfair on Malieveld, of course! No celebration is as dynamic and colourful as the funfair! Characterised by the many twinkling lights, festive music and the speed of the modern and sensational attractions. But also the smell of warm doughnuts, popcorn and candy.

King’s Day is a day to celebrate!

Throughout the city, there are flea markets (free markets) where people sell their belongings. And where you can also show off your talents.

Some locations of free markets are: Belgisch Park (Belgisch Plein & Stevinstraat), Frederik Hendriklaan, Lange Beestenmarkt, Keizerstraat in Scheveningen, Noordeinde near the palace, Newtonplein, and more.

It’s also great fun to take your own group on a boat trip through the city. That way, you can see all the festivities from the water. In 2026, King’s Day falls on Monday 27 April, and you can easily book a group boat trip with us online. With drinks and snacks, or you can arrange your own catering on board.
