It is in fact a public holiday in the Netherlands, but certainly not a day of rest, as several nationalists flock the city of Amsterdam to celebrate with their king, although traditionally, celebrations start on the eve of his birthday.<\/p>\n<p>The theme colour for the event is orange because the King originates from a region called Orange in southeastern France. The kings chose the colour to match with their origin. The Dutch people, both at home and abroad, dress up in orange to honor the royal family &#8211; the House of Orange &#8211; and participate in unregulated street markets and parties.<\/p>\n<p>The annual event took place at the Dutch ambassador&#8217;s residence in Nyarutarama.<\/p>\n<p>A music band entertaining the audience at the event<\/p>\n<p>Guests mostly clad in orange themed attire turned up in large numbers in honour of the king\u2019s birthday<\/p>\n<p>King&#8217;s Day ceremony was attended by diplomats, government officials among others on Thursday evening, April 25.
