When I heard about "King's Day", I was not so sure what's that mean. I have said before that I am not familiar with the Dutch culture so I didn't know what was King's Day. All I knew was that the day is considered a National holiday and that's all I knew. I should have googled it to get more information before the festival but I didn't. You can laugh at me thinking that I am silly because I don't know what is King's Day, but the whole festival was so new to me.
Anyway, on 27th May 2022, it was King's Day and the whole Netherlands celebrated the day with joy. This video I have filmed while walking in the city center. I wanted to go to Amsterdam but the plan didn't go as I expected so I have stayed in Almere and explored the day. The whole city center was full of people, music everywhere. Big cities in the Netherlands celebrate this day like a festival, after all, it is King's birthday. King's day starts with a flea market where people sell different things. Most of the products are second-hand. The market starts at 6.00 am and stays until night.
Here in Almere, I have noticed that the market closed around 7.00 pm. Most of the people wear an orange color dress on this day and celebrate the day by holding beer bottles. I was feeling kinda overwhelmed seeing the crowd but I enjoyed the day. It was interesting to experience such a huge festival after a long time.
Thank you so much for watching.
