A child playing the violin out of tune, jeans hanging and toilet bowl throwing, the Wilhelmus and drunken hordes screaming across the street. Royal day. The annual Oranjefeest in which we celebrate the King’s birthday. Is this still a beautiful tradition that we should continue to celebrate every year or does it have no added value for you and do you think this holiday is total nonsense?
Since 2014, the whole of the Netherlands has celebrated King Willem-Alexander’s birthday on April 27. On this day, the King and his family, together with other members of the Royal Family, visit a congregation. This year the family can be found in Rotterdam, but a large orange party is also being celebrated in the rest of the country. And there is extra party, because this is the tenth edition of King’s Day with Willem-Alexander.
Weather
Although it is spring, it will be a cold day. It will be even colder tomorrow than on New Year’s Day. Tonight, during King’s Night, it will even freeze in various places. Annoying, but also dangerous reports The Red Cross. The frost can penetrate the ground, so it is not wise for children to sit on the floor selling things. Nevertheless, the orange umbrella can stay at home, because it will stay dry.
