King's Day will be ‘Housing Day’ this year, yay

King's Day in quarantine

You almost wonder if the universe had plans for King's Day for a longer time. All those coincidental puns that just fit perfectly. Anyhow, the Orange Association has decided to rename King's Day to Housing Day this year, reports NOS. Because it is certain that it will look different. No wandering around the flea markets, no drinks in the city, no King's Games, and no festivals. However, the Orange Association will come up with an alternative program, which will be announced later. It is already clear that the day will be opened with the ringing of the bells, an online flea market, and the Wilhelmus being played on TV by the Concertgebouw Orchestra. At 4:00 PM, everyone who wants to toast to the king can raise their glass. I mean: the best man turns 53 years old and any reason to toast is good these days. So: Housing Day it is. Mark it in your calendar. Make sure you are at home.. Oh… Right, yes…
