Amsterdam King's Day and Alkmaars Ontzet

In North Holland, King's Day (27 April) sees its largest nationwide celebrations in Amsterdam, featuring a citywide open-air flea market (vrijmarkt) and festive canal boat flotillas. In Alkmaar, 8 October marks Alkmaars Ontzet, commemorating the 1573 victory over Spanish troops with a school holiday.

On 11 November, children across the province carry illuminated lanterns singing from door to door for Sint-Maarten. School calendars follow the North region.
