The Eleven Cities Route Turns Orange for Kingsday!

Summary

King Willem-Alexander will celebrate his 59th birthday on Monday, April 27, 2026, in the Eleven Cities town of Dokkum, together with Queen Máxima and the rest of the royal family. On Keningsdei, as we call King’s Day in Fryslân, Dokkum turns it into an unforgettable celebration with music, sports, art, and stories.

DOKKUM – The new visual identity of Kingsday has officially been launched. Mayor Johannes Kramer unveiled the design by placing the logo on his car. “I think it’s a beautiful and stylish design,” said Kramer.

The new logo immediately catches the eye. A crown symbolizes the strong connection between the 52 villages of Noardeast-Fryslân and the city of Dokkum. The interlinked Frisian pompeblêden together form a powerful and royal whole, expressing both history and a sense of unity.

Below the crown, three curved lines represent the surrounding landscape: the land along the Wadden Sea with the horizon beyond. The primary color of the design is orange, complemented by variations in white and Dokkum blue. These colors and shapes are reflected throughout the entire visual identity and will be visible in many places during Keningsdei.

Alongside the presentation of the new visual identity, Friesland Holland Travel also announced that the special Kingsday cycling package will be launched on 16 January. The package focuses on King’s Day in Dokkum, while also highlighting the history of the House of Orange-Nassau in Leeuwarden and Oranjewoud.

Anyone interested in the royal cycling package or other opportunities offered by Friesland Holland Travel is welcome to get in touch for more information.
