National Holidays
Look out for these special holidays celebrated throughout the nation. From Queen's Day to Liberation Day, these holidays always have a special touch when celebrated in Amsterdam.
Queen's Day, 30 April
The south may have Carnival, but Amsterdam has 'Queen's Day' - the annual ‘orange’ festival honouring Her Majesty, Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands promises music, merriment & more.
Remembrance & Liberation Day
While the end of World War II was witnessed sixty years ago, the impact of this war on Amsterdam, the Netherlands and the world has not been forgotten. The May 4 & 5 events around these national holidays prove how the impact of this war - and the act of its remembrance - can and should always be linked to today.
