King's Day 2025 - Amsterdam Goes Orange

The biggest street party in the Netherlands is coming on April 27th.

King's Day (Koningsdag) on April 27th is Amsterdam at its most joyful. The entire city turns orange as people celebrate the King's birthday with street markets, live music, and canal parties. The Jordaan neighborhood hosts one of the best street parties in the city - and it's right outside your door! Wear orange, explore the vrijmarkt (free market) where locals sell second-hand treasures, and join the celebration on the canals. Our top tip: get to Vondelpark early in the morning for the best atmosphere before the crowds arrive.
