Golden Gate Park’s Dutch Windmill Festival
The Dutch community in San Francisco invites you to celebrate King’s Day 2019 near the Murphy Windmill on the south end of Golden Gate Park.
King’s Day, the biggest national celebration in the Netherlands, is returning once again to San Francisco. Dutch King’s Day San Francisco will be a fun-filled day with traditional Dutch games, a flea market, Dutch food, beer, music & more.
Most likely the windmill will be turned on (weather permitting), so it’ll be a rare day to see one of Golden Gate Park’s windmills in action.
2019 King’s Day
Saturday, April 27, 2019 | Noon to 5 pm
Murphy Windmill, Golden Gate Park

Everything and everyone turns orange to celebrate not just King Willem-Alexander’s birthday, but also Dutch culture and the Dutch way of life.
