King's Day Amsterdam

WHERE: Amsterdam, Netherlands
WHEN: 27 April 2024

Amsterdam is a magical, wonderful and extremely lively city all year round, but…. try to visit it on April 27th and you will witness something incredible and truly unique.

About two million (!!!) of individuals, all dressed in orange, are pouring out into the city to celebrate the King’s Day Amsterdam (Koningsdag). This is the event in honor of William Alexander, celebrated on this fateful date of the year, except Sundays; in this case, in fact, it is always anticipated at the Saturday 26 April!

During the Koningsdag Amsterdam, you can dance, drink, eat and have fun all day. In every place, street, city square. Even along the Amstel, there are hundreds of festively decorated boats full of festive people. And, of course, traditional coma, there are lots of dance parties organized outdoors, in parks, bars or pubs. Enjoy this crazy show. Let yourself be carried away by the crowds and the atmosphere of joy and celebration that you breathe.

A day to spend all… strictly in orange. Do not forget to provide for yourself too. A simple accessory of this color could suffice. The wigs are very popular. But also the hats. There is also someone who dries his beard or mustache.

And if the King’s Day is not enough, why not celebrate the night before? On the eve of the Koningsdag the Koningsnacht is celebrated; the best pubs, clubs and bars in Amsterdam organize incredible events in which to drink and dance until late at night. Do not exaggerate, however: you risk losing the party the next day!!!

PROGRAM KING’S DAY AMSTERDAM 2024

On the occasion of the King’s Day, the city is literally invaded by hundreds of sellers of street food, placed in every corner of the streets. You can eat a lot, and well, spending the right. And you can taste the tompouce, a typical pastry with cream, decorated for this occasion with a specially created orange icing.
And above all, you can drink and consume alcohol at will. Only during the Koningsdag Amsterdam, in fact, it is allowed to consume alcohol on the street. Give us inside !!

But the party is also a good opportunity to do some business. Traditionally, King’s Day is the only day when no permits are required to sell goods by road; This is why so many Dutch people empty their cellars, and Amsterdam turns into a mega flea market. Incredible, really, what you could find.
