King’s Day

King’s Day may well be the best party in Holland. On 27 April, we celebrate King Willem Alexander’s birthday with music, street parties, flea markets, and fun fairs. This year everything is different. COVID-19 keeps the Dutch indoors and festivities have been canceled or moved online. Expect the Dutch to have a party regardless of the pandemic, however, even though it’s at home and on a smaller scale this year.
