April 26, 2014 The Netherlands will celebrate King's Day for the first time. Since 1949, the Netherlands traditionally celebrated the Queen's Day on April 30, but on April 30 King Willem-Alexander ascended to the throne. He became the first king of the Netherlands since 1890 and the youngest king in the history of the country.

The holiday was traditionally celebrated on Queen Juliana's Birthday on a special scale. On this day festive festivals and concerts are held in Amsterdam, and people dress in orange, as it is the color of the royal house of Oranski-Nasau.

Since 2014, the holiday will be celebrated on April 27, the birthday of King Willem-Alexander, if this day does not will fall out on a Sunday. Since it was on Sunday, April 27, the Day of the King will be celebrated one day earlier, on April 26.
