King's Birthday, also known as King's Day (Koningsdag in Dutch), is a national holiday in Curaçao celebrated on April 27. This day honors the birthday of the reigning monarch of the Netherlands, which is currently King Willem-Alexander.
The tradition of celebrating the Dutch monarch’s birthday dates back to the 19th century. Initially, it was celebrated as Princess's Day for Princess Wilhelmina, and later as Queen's Day for subsequent queens. When Willem-Alexander ascended to the throne in 2013, the holiday was renamed King's Day and moved from April 30, which was his mother Queen Beatrix’s official celebration day, to his actual birthday on April 27.
King's Birthday is not only a celebration of royalty but also an expression of national pride that brings together communities across Curaçao for a day of vibrant cultural festivities.
