Dutch Orange Bus Official Debut & Island Sendoff

Galveston will officially debut the Dutch Orange Bus (De beroemde Oranjebus) before it makes its way to Dallas for the June 14 World Cup match.

This bright orange bus is a beloved Netherlands fan tradition, leading supporters with music, energy and unmistakable team spirit during major international soccer matches. Before she heads across Texas, Galveston gets the first celebration.

Join us at 11 a.m. at Saengerfest Park for a meet and greet with the Mayor and a special proclamation. Fans are encouraged to wear orange, take photos and help give the Dutch Orange Bus a warm island sendoff.

At 11:30 a.m., the convoy will depart Saengerfest Park and travel west on The Strand to 25th Street, then south to Seawall Boulevard and west along the Seawall to 61st Street.

Come out to Saengerfest Park or line the Seawall as the bus makes her way off the island. Let’s show the world how Galveston celebrates.
