Celebrated nationwide, Queen's Day is most intense in the capital Amsterdam, attracting not only Dutch but also foreign visitors.
After the boat parade, we walked on in the Jordaan District, which is one of the places where Queen's Day is celebrated most intensely, as it is a true people's district. Indeed, the alleys, the canal streets, and most of all, the bars were all full, both with locals dressed up in orange shirts or orange clogs on their heards, or foreigners wondering at this display of orange madness. As a contrast, we also saw small stands where kids were performing a dance, or three teenagers acting as a music group playing some rock classics. Even for convinced anti-monarchists, Queen's Day can be a day to just have fun and enjoy a joyful atmosphere.
