About King's Day
In the Netherlands, King's Day, or Koningsdag, celebrates the birthday of King Willem-Alexander. The Dutch party all day long throughout the country, with flea markets, food and drink, boat rides in the canals, and a whole lot of fun. Of course, the most important thing is that everyone wears orange!​
