The Dutch Network has invited "Walter Frost and Bevrijdingsdag" to "pop-up" at the Koningsdag 2025 celebration on Saturday, May 3, 2025 in North Vancouver.

Koningsdag (or King's Day) is the national holiday in the Kingdom of the Netherlands that celebrates King Willem-Alexander's birthday and vibrant Dutch culture. 

Bevrijdingsdag (or Dutch Liberation Day) is the day that the Netherlands celebrate being freed from Nazi occupation after the Second World War. It is celebrated annually on May 5th, the day after Dodenherdenking (Remembrance of the Dead), which is solemnly commemorated on May 4th.

 

Using select black & white photographs by the late Walter Frost (1898-1988), the exhibition illustrates why May 5, 1945 (Bevrijdingsdag) was the pivotal point in time that led to the long-standing relationship between the Netherlands and Vancouver, even though Vancouver is located on Canada’s West Coast
