Why? The reason for this national event is that we (the Dutch) celebrate the birthday of the former Queen of Holland, who passed away a couple of years ago. Her daughter (Beatrix, nowdays our Queen) continued with that tradition. Most shops are closed this day, and the serious Dutch go crazy.
Outdoor DJ-performances, markets, food, drinks and a lot of tolerance. Some places which are popular every year:Enjoy Amsterdam!
