Nederlandse Veteranendag

This is the seventh year for Dutch Veterans’ Day. On 25 June, just as in previous years, the past efforts of Dutch military personnel will be commemorated in various ways. And the efforts of military personnel now, who are engaged in peacekeeping operations in different parts of the world, will also be commemorated.
 
Programme
There will be a varied programme in the Malieveld and in part of the city centre. At 12 noon the march past will begin and there will be entertainment for young and old in the Malieveld with music from Raffaela, Jeroen van der Boom, Glennis Grace and the Koninklijke Millitaire Kapel (Royal Netherlands Military Band), to name just a few. There will also be rugged motorbikes, and you’ll be able to sit in vintage vehicles and vessels, test your fitness on the assault course, make sand sculptures, and much much more!
 
March Past
At 14.00 the march past will arrive back at the Malieveld, having been joined at 13.00 by H.R.H. The Prince of Orange at the Kneuterdijk. The march past is comprised of 3,000 veterans and military personnel, 17 marching bands, modern defence systems and vintage vehicles. Helicopters, vintage aircraft and modern aircraft on a fly past above the procession will complete the occasion.

Come to Dutch Veterans’ Day, come to The Hague Festivals!
