We will use King’s Day as a way to celebrate Orange City’s residents and volunteers who will soon make the Tulip Festival a celebration of our Dutch heritage and welcome thousands of guests to join in on the fun. A fun day in partnerhip with the Chamber Merchants, Dutch American Heritage Museum, Duth Heritage Boosters, and the Orange City Tulip Festival.
