About local holidays
The Netherlands has few official holidays (Algemeen erkende feestdagen) but the King grants extra days in practice. Koningsdag (April 27, King Willem-Alexander's birthday) drowns Amsterdam and the country in orange. Bevrijdingsdag (May 5) marks the 1945 liberation but is only an official holiday every five years. Easter, Pentecost and Ascension are off; Sinterklaas (Dec 5) isn't a holiday but offices close early. Christmas and Second Christmas Day (Dec 26) close the year.
