Dutch King's Day features Dutch Music, craft booths, authentic Dutch cuisine and beer, kids' games, and a bicycle parade. The flag of the Netherlands is red, white and blue, but orange is the color of the royal family and most everyone embraces this bright, happy color, welcome after a long, gray winter. WEAR ORANGE and learn how to party like the Dutch! Dutch King's Day is presented by the Old Dutch Store and Dutch Social Club of UT."
