Don’t miss out on this incredible, orange colored, birthday party of our (former) queen! Never heard of it? Well than, let me explain: On Queens-day all the Dutchies celebrate the birth of our beloved queen Juliana. Nowadays Beatrix is wearing the crown but the 30th of April was decided to remain the party date for our Queens birthdays.
The royal madness starts on Queens-night, the 29th of April; when orange colored crowds slowly take over the city streets…There will be open stages with live music or DJ’s everywhere around and numerous crazy parties organized in bars and clubs all over Holland!
But we’ve only gotten started! When the night tiptoes into day, Queens-day pulls in on the 30th of April. Especially Amsterdam, Den Haag and Utrecht will attract huge crowds all gathering in the streets, parks and cruising through the canals in tiny boats! There will be a ‘vrijmarkt’ a market for anyone and everyone to sell their attic crap, old clothes and ‘whatever you can think of stuff’ in the streets: There’s always something in there for you! The same as the night before, bands and DJ’s will be playing but this time on every street corner and blasting their hearts out! At night, parties rave on in the bigger cities’ clubs.

BUT NOTE! The great celebrations of the Queen’s birthday will not only take place in the bigger cities. Also smaller cities like Noordwijk will have the bars and clubs packed with rocking orange! During the day you can experience a true Dutch Queenie day with a market, a fair, and most importantly Grentpop 2005 www.grentpop.nl, an amazing pop festival!
