King's Day & Night 2026

King’s Day (Koningsdag) is the Netherlands’ most iconic national celebration, held every April 27 to mark the King’s birthday. Across the country, streets, canals, and parks fill with people dressed in orange – from Amsterdam to Rotterdam and beyond. Alongside the vrijmarkt and street parties, hundreds of ticketed Kingsday events take place at venues across the Netherlands. You’ll find everything from club nights and rooftop parties to live music and canal cruises – all happening on one day. It’s the Netherlands at its best – simple as that.
