King’s Day 2019 – Tickets Sale will start on April 25th
The Koningsdag Event is presented by Holland Shopping Centre
Finally, the news you’ve all been waiting for – Koningsdag tickets will be going on sale next week, March 25th. Mark your calendar because this is the Dutch community’s most popular event of the year. Last year we sold out within days.
Koningsdag will take place Saturday, April 27th at 17:00. The event will take place at De Dutch in Coal Harbour, Vancouver. This year we made some changes to the menu and we hope to have more entertainment.
If you book before April 6, you make a chance to win the early bird price of a $50 gift certificate, generously donated by De Dutch (https://dedutch.com/).
