On the road with the King of Zaandam: “I’ve been busy weeks in advance”

For many people, King’s Day is special, but Frits Nieste lives for days like these. He is quite well known in the area, but not many people know him by his real name. The title ‘King of Zaandam’ suits him better: every King’s Day he puts on his cloak and takes up the crown. “I like to give people pleasure, to make them laugh. Then I enjoy myself too!”
