Thanks to COVID-19, it will be our second Koningsdag during lockdown, meaning the usual country-wide celebrations are not allowed. Ironically, it’s one of the first years that the weather is looking lovely, with a high of 16 degrees and sunshine. There are several online events organised in The Netherlands:

Kings Day in Sydney
Australians or Dutch in Australia are lucky enough to be able to attend live events this Kings Day/Kings Night. Here’s one event in Sydney.
How will you celebrate?
