De Wieken

Founded in 1985, De Wieken warmly welcomes not only the Dutch community residing in the Research Triangle Park area but also anyone with a keen interest in the Netherlands and its vibrant culture. Our club gatherings are a delightful way to rekindle connections with the old country, indulge in delicious Dutch ‘lekkernijen’ (treats), and enjoy the lively company of friends.

Our members hail from across the greater North Carolina Triangle region, spanning as far as Greensboro in the west and Wilmington in the east. You might be surprised by the impressive size of our membership list, reflecting the dynamic and diverse community we’ve fostered.

We offer an array of engaging events for all ages. Children can revel in the excitement of Sinterklaas, while those who love card games can partake in monthly Klaverjassen sessions. For those with a hearty appetite, our annual stamppot and Indische rijsttafel feasts are not to be missed.

We can’t wait to see you at our next club event, where fun, friendship, and fantastic experiences await.
