Koninginnedag
30 April
The Queen's official birthday (Koninginnedag) is a national holiday, which is celebrated by street parties and other events.
The Queen and other members of the royal family visit the festivities in one or perhaps two different places each year.
During the reigns of Queen Wilhelmina and Queen Juliana, it was the custom to celebrate Koninginnedag on the Queen's birthday - 31 August and 30 April respectively.
On the day of her investiture, 30 April 1980, Queen Beatrix stated that she wished to continue celebrating it on 30 April, as a mark of respect for her mother, Queen Juliana.
