King's Day 2024

Celebrating King's Day 2024

About the Doodle:

On King’s Day, the king and his family visit a different region in the Netherlands each year, mingling with the locals and visiting attractions specific to the area. The Dutch people typically wear bright orange outfits that represent the national color, all while waving the red, white, and blue national flag — like the one in today’s artwork.

They attend grand parades, lively concerts, bustling street markets, and jubilant pubs to celebrate. Many traditional games like bite-the-cake and toilet bowl throwing are also available at funfairs around the country.

Happy King’s Day!

About the King's Day 2024 Doodle

This Doodle celebrates the most orange day of the year in the Netherlands — Koningsdag or King’s Day 2024! This public holiday acts as a nationwide birthday party for King Willem-Alexander, who became the first Dutch king in over a century in 2014. The observance date for King’s (or Queen’s) Day usually moves whenever a new ruler ascends to the throne.
