Queens Day

in the Netherlands and Amsterdam

 

On April 30 everybody in the Netherlands has a day off,

because the birthday of Queen Beatrix

is celebrated with a big national street party.

 

This webpage wants to give an impression

of what is happening in The Netherlands

on that festive day.

 

Early in the morning many households

put out the flag with the Orange pennant.

Orange is the color of the Queen

and also her surname.

See also our page with the national anthem

and the flag-wallpaper.

 

In many squares of the towns

a second hand market will be going on

with many kids selling old play toys.

 

Everywhere are kiosks in the streets

with food and drinks for sale.

 

On many places there will be music and dancing.

 

 

Little bands are in the streets with jazz music.

 

Many local communities will have games for kids

in the streets or on a square.

 

A real steam engine train.

 

A day of fun.

In the inner city of Amsterdam is the

biggest party going on

with often more then half a million people.

 

Street tournament of the local chess society.

 

At the end of the day in many places

there will be a big show of fireworks.
