It had all the makings of a fantastic celebration, but unfortunately COVID-19 made short work of all those fantastic plans. Unfortunately, it remains unclear whether we can celebrate King's Day in Maastricht in 2021 or in a different year. Even so, we are still optimistic! As soon as more information is available, we will share it on this page.
Earlier this year, it was decided – in the interests of society as a whole – to officially cancel King's Day 2020 in Maastricht. We were all looking forward to this wonderful event, which many residents of Maastricht and the wider South Limburg region had been working very hard on. In light of the current situation, the decision to cancel the event is more than understandable. For now, there is only one priority: to recover as a society. We do not yet know whether King's Day can take place in 2021 or another year. As soon as more information is available on this topic, we will share it on this website.

King’s Day 2020 celebrations in Maastricht cancelled
The Municipality of Maastricht and the Province of Limburg have decided to cancel the King’s Day 2020 celebrations in Maastricht. This is in response to the impact of the measures taken to combat the coronavirus.
In light of the present situation, the Municipality of Maastricht and the Province of Limburg do not consider it appropriate to hold the festive presentation of the 2020 King’s Day programme as planned on Wednesday 18 March. A decision was therefore taken to postpone the presentation for the press until further notice. The press will be informed of the new date for the presentation as soon as this is available.
In the run-up to King's Day 2020, a special series of pictures was created. This series of pictures took you on a tour of life in South Limburg. Each picture had a story, whether featuring every day or special aspects of life in neighbourhoods, districts, and villages. Due to the cancellation of King's Day, this project was ended early but the results are still amazing.
The photos were shot by Loraine Bodewes.
