Des Konings Fest

Every year on April 27 we get to play outside again for the first time of the year: we celebrate spring, the start of the festival season, and raise a toast to the king in our beautiful courtyard garden.

Annual festival

Des Konings Fest

Des Konings Fest is Burgerweeshuis's longest-running festival! For more than 20 years, we've been celebrating King's Day with a killer line-up of live bands. It's also a party in the schoolyard across the street: a bouncy castle, a terrace, food trucks and... cold beer. Just like In Peace Name, this festival is free.
