Celebrated nationwide, Queen's Day is most intense in the capital Amsterdam, attracting not only Dutch but also foreign visitors.
Queen's Day in the Netherlands is the most celebrated national holiday. While celebrated everywhere in the country, it is most intensely lived in the capital Amsterdam. While the Queen visits several towns drawing real monarchists cheering her and her family, most Dutch people spend the day on the many street markets, enjoying live music, or watching the boat parade in the canals of the capital. For many, Queen's Day is mostly a great excuse to have a party, to have fun, and/or get drunk. To be sure, many dress up in orange for the occasion, which gives the crowd a vibrant colour.
