Kings Day Netherlands 2026 in Kazakhstan is observed on Mon, 27 M04 2026.
Koningsdag (King's Day), April 27, celebrates the birthday of King Willem-Alexander. It is the largest annual street party in the Netherlands, with most of the country dressed in orange.
The royal birthday holiday tradition began in 1885 as Prinsessedag for Princess Wilhelmina. After her ascension it became Koninginnedag (Queen's Day). When Wilhelmina's daughter Juliana took the throne, the date became April 30. With King Willem-Alexander's accession in 2013, it moved to his birthday — April 27.
Orange clothing everywhere (orange is the national color, referencing the House of Orange-Nassau). Free markets (vrijmarkt) where anyone can sell their belongings on the street. Boat parties on Amsterdam's canals. Live concerts and DJ sets. Children sell hand-made items and play instruments for tips. King and Queen visit a different city each year.
Tompoes (custard pastries with orange icing — orange-themed for the day). Bitterballen, herring, oliebollen.
"Fijne Koningsdag".
National public holiday. Amsterdam is the epicenter — the city center becomes nearly impassable. Hotels book months ahead. Trains and trams run packed. If avoiding crowds, leave the city.
