Queens Day

The Queen’s official birthday (Koninginnedag) is a national holiday, which is celebrated by street parties, flea markets, concerts and much more. http://www.queensdaymaastricht.nl/

Everyone wears orange, the national color of Netherlands. Orange symbolizes national and royal pride and relates to the Dutch royal family name, The Nassau Family, House of Orange.

Andrew was the only Galka sporting orange. We will have to be better prepared for next April 30th.
