Koninginnedag (Queens Day)
On April 30th, all of the Netherlands, but especially Amsterdam, will be celebrating Queens Day, the greatest flea market and street party I have ever seen. This is partly because it is a 24 hour boisterous, free for all, and mostly because, it's so joyously benign. I can't think of another People who party with such abandon and hurt so few in the process.

Remembrance and Freedom Days
While this observance is rooted in more serious event, it is still a celebration. QueensDay is a free market for goods, Freedom Day is a free market for ideas and opinions
