 April 30th is the Dutch equivalent of our Queens Birthday weekend In the Netherlands the celebration of Koninginnedag, or Queen's Day (from next year it wil become Koningsdag, or King's Day) It marks the birthday of Beatrix's mother, Juliana, and is, strikingly, the only day in the year when the Dutch are allowed to sell whatever they like, wherever they like, which essentially means the country becomes a kind of national car boot sale!! http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013/apr/30/king-willem-12-things-dutch-royal-family |
