KONINGSFESTIVAL ENSCHEDE

The celebratory festival for the King's birthday.

To celebrate the King's birthday, Enschede arranges the annual Koningsfestival. Thanks to the numerous concerts, markets and all kinds of entertainment, it is easy to join in the festivities. A typical Dutch tradition is the kindermatjesmarkt. This market is especially for children. They sell second hand stuff that they display on a mat or rug out on the street. It is fun to see the children live up to their role of market vendor.
