King's Day (Koningsdag) in The Netherlands


King's Day in The Netherlands occurs annually on April 27th.

Citizens in the THE NETHERLANDS celebrated King's Day (Koningsdag) on April 27th. Starting in 2014, Queen's Day was shifted to King's Day due to Queen Beatrix's voluntary abdication of the throne. Queen's Day was on April 30th, while King's Day is celebrated on the same day as King Willem-Alexander's birthday. King's Day is also celebrated in The Netherlands' overseas territories, including Aruba, the Caribbean Netherlands, Curaçao, and Sint Maarten.
