"Normally, the Murphy Windmill (the largest in the world when it was built in 1908) sits majestically, but silently watching over the southwest corner of Golden Gate Park which no longer needs it to pump the 40,000 gallons of water a day it used to before electric pumps took all the glory. But on April 25, 2026, the brakes come off, and the windmill will turn once again in honor of "King's Day," an annual festival celebrating Dutch culture and traditions."
"The Dutch community in San Francisco invites you to celebrate King's Day 2026 near the Murphy Windmill on the south end of Golden Gate Park to celebrate Dutch culture and traditions, including traditional Dutch games, flea market, Dutch food, beer, music & more. Saturday, April 25, 2026 | Noon - 5 pm Murphy Windmill, Golden Gate Park FREE - donations are appreciated"
