Queensday is the biggest Dutch party day of the year, it's always held on the 30th of April. The reason why it's called Queensday is because it was the ex Queen Julianas birthday.

Everyone dresses up in Organge, since that is the last name of the Royal family. Everyone is allowed to sell whatever they want......when it comes to things....so there are some restrictions when it comes to food and drink. Children sell old toys or arrange games that people have to pay for to try. Or they sell lemonade or performe dance performances etc. For the adults there are concerts all over the country, beer tents and in our village the have things like jack russel raceses and horse and carriage "games". It is a lot of fun, even if it is bad weather people smile :)
