When the Dutch celebrate 'Kings Day', there is a huge street party. Ten American winners of a competition organised by KLM and Heineken were treated to the experience in Amsterdam.
A surprise awaited
It all started when passers-by in New York were asked a series of dance-related questions, and those who answered correctly were selected as winners. On 25 April, the winners gathered at JFK in New York. What they didn't know was that they would be flown to Amsterdam ...
There, an orange bus and a programme that included a visit to the Heineken brewery and a party cruise through Amsterdam's canals awaited, while the festivities went on all around. The biggest surprise came when DJ Armin van Buuren jumped on board for a one-hour private show! Check out the video, presented in collaboration with KLM, to see what happened!

What's really funny is that a colleague of mine unknowingly witnessed Kings Day and told me about it. Great fun!
