About Netherlands's Public Holiday Calendar
The Netherlands legally guarantees relatively few paid holidays; days like Good Friday are only observed by certain employers such as the public sector and banks, and a paid day off for Liberation Day (May 5) is typically granted only once every five years, on round anniversaries.
King's Day on April 27 is one of the Netherlands' most vibrantly celebrated holidays; the date is fixed to King Willem-Alexander's birthday, which is why it differs from the April 30 date used during the previous queen's reign.
