King's Day
King's Day, Koningsdag in Dutch, is the national holiday of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, celebrating the birthday of the reigning monarch. King Willem-Alexander was born on 27 April 1967, and the holiday has been held on that date since he became king in 2013. It is observed in the Netherlands and in the Caribbean parts of the Kingdom, including Aruba, Curaçao, Sint Maarten and the Caribbean Netherlands. The Netherlands is a constitutional monarchy, and the king's birthday is a national occasion rather than a personal one. It is the largest annual street festival in the country.
The day is known for its sea of orange, the colour of the royal House of Orange-Nassau, with people wearing orange clothes, face paint and wigs. Towns hold a vrijmarkt, a free market on which anyone can sell second-hand goods without a permit, and there are music festivals, street parties and, in Amsterdam, a famous boat party on the canals. The King and the royal family visit a different town each year. Many Dutch people also play traditional games and sell homemade items, and children often perform music in the street.
