There are five main events per year, usually coinciding with traditional Dutch festivities.

1. ✦At the start of the year (February), De Wieken hosts an old fashioned 'stamppot' dinner party.
   

2. ✦In spring, we celebrate ‘Koningsdag’ (April 27), together with Memorial Day at our annual membership meeting.
   

3. ✦A popular summer event in August is the Indonesian potluck dinner (rijsttafel), featuring the cuisine of the former Dutch East Indies, a welcome deviation from routine Dutch or American cooking!
   

4. ✦In October, the club participates in the Raleigh International Festival by displaying our cultural heritage and by offering select Dutch culinary creations.
   

5. ✦In December, we celebrate 'Sinterklaas' (not to be confused with Santa Claus), when the old Saint stops in Raleigh on his way to Holland, to bring presents to local Dutch-American children. 
   

In addition to these celebrations De Wieken organizes various monthly or one-time events.

At monthly koffieklets gatherings the club offers opportunities to practice conversational Dutch and exchange Dutch news, books and magazines.

And... members get together on a monthly basis to play Klaverjassen, a popular Dutch card game.

Whenever possible, get-togethers are at members' homes, thus providing a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere.
