There are two Oranjeverenigingen (Orange Associations) in Katwijk, both dedicated to celebrating King’s Day and other Dutch national holidays.

This association also organizes a range of events for King’s Day, Liberation Day, and other national holidays. They also have a strong focus on community engagement and activities for all ages.
Both Oranjeverenigingen are well-established and respected organizations in Katwijk, and they play an important role in keeping the community spirit alive. If you’re interested in getting involved in Dutch traditions and celebrations, I encourage you to contact one of these associations.
