Queen’s Day in the Netherlands

Today is Queen’s Day in the Netherlands.

Here is a little info from Wikipedia:

Queen’s Day (Dutch: Koninginnedag) is a celebration in the Netherlands, the Netherlands Antilles, and Aruba on April 30 (or April 29th if the 30th is a Sunday). Originally a celebration of the queen’s birthday, it is now mainly known for the ‘vrijmarkt’ (literally ‘freemarket’), the one day in the year that anyone is allowed to sell anything in the streets and ‘koninginnenacht’ (Queen’s Night) on the preceding night. It is also a Dutch holiday.
