Queen's Day in Amsterdam is a unique night and day carnival-like event at the end of April each year and during the night before - so-called Queen's Night. What is special about Queen's Day, that having elements of the huge party across the whole city, it is combined with the market in the streets of the whole city.
Queen's Day in Amsterdam attracts each year ca 700 thousand visitors, which makes the city crowded beyond any acceptable norms. Despite overcrowding, the atmosphere on Queen's Day is traditionally relaxed and joyful. Usually mild, not too hot weather makes Queen's Day the day to be in Amsterdam.
Queen's Day is celebrated in the whole Netherlands for more than fifty years. Amsterdam celebrations are the most attractive. Last year the popularity of the event grows drawing a crowd of visitors from all over Europe.
At the end of January 2013, Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands, the longest-reigning Dutch monarch, announced her abdication after 33 years on the throne. 75 years old Beatrix said she would abdicate on the 30th of April and her oldest son Willem-Alexander will become the King of the Netherlands.
The last Queensday will take place on Tuesday 30th of April, 2013, the first King's Day on Saturday 26, 2014, one day before Willem-Alexander’s birthday. From now on the King’s Day will be held on April 27 each year.
