The Netherlands will celebrate King's Night for the first time in years on Tuesday. Festivities are planned all over the country on Tuesday evening and night. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the traditional party evening couldn't happen these past two years.
Traditionally, Utrecht kicks off King's Night with a large free market in the city center. The market starts at 6:00 p.m. and goes on all night and the next day. The evening before King's Day, the center of The Hague is dominated by the festival The Life I Live. The free city festival includes performances outside in various places and in the adjacent catering locations.
There are parties at various locations in Amsterdam, including in AFAS Live, on the Westergasterrein, and in the Melkweg. Between the Koningsplein and Vijzelstraat in the city center, there will be live music from 7:00 p.m. until midnight. Rotterdammers can also choose from different parties on Tuesday. King's Night celebrations are happening in the Maassilo, BIRD, and the TOFFLER nightclub, among other places.
There are free festivities in several places in Eindhoven, for example on the Lichtplein, the Stathuisplein, and the Wilhelminaplein. De Helden van Oranje takes place in Stadspark Groningen, with performances by Snollebollekes, Tino Martin and Frans Duijts.
