Koningsdag, King's Day celebrations sweep the Netherlands
NPO Radio 1 is broadcasting Koningsdag live from Dokkum in Friesland between 10:30 and 13:30. Markets, street parties and orange clothing fill towns across the Netherlands, with regions such as Brabant holding their own festivities. The royal family is based in Friesland for the celebrations while communities nationwide run local events and markets. Amsterdam is running extra long trains to cope with crowds even as city officials try to limit visitor numbers.
Wishing Dutchies a happy Kings day #Koningsdag 🇳🇱 Will someone please eat some Bitterballen for me 😋
Everyone in the Netherlands will be eating an ‘Oranje tompouce ‘ today- available the rest of the year with pink icing. In fact most edibles are orangified for Kingsday. Even bitterballen! 😊
Thanks! And If only I knew where to get them, I've been unable to find them since Lidl stopped with their "Dutch week". Now I will have them on my mind all day...
