Konigsdag in Budapest

szilvia.varga at April 27, 2018

King’s Day is when the Dutch celebrate the birthday of their king. King Willem Alexander was born on 27 April and so there are many parties, flea markets and, of course, the king himself visits one or several cities with his family.

In honor of the King’s Day, the Royal Embassy of the Netherlands in Budapest organized several programs on April 25, including business and networking events to strengthen Dutch-Hungarian business cooperations.

How do the Dutch celebrate King’s Day?

King’s Day (formerly Queen’s Day) festivities invite locals and visitors alike to soak up Amsterdam’s open-air fun. In the streets, canals, parks and everywhere in between, the city is bursting with orange as Amsterdammers enjoy the biggest street party of the year.

On King’s Day, people are allowed to sell things on the street without requiring a permit. Flea (‘free’) markets are held in parks and streets, with many people offering their unwanted possessions, music or other entertainment for sale. In Utrecht, the flea markets even start the night before King’s Day. More information about the festive>>
