                          About Public Holidays in Netherlands

                          The Netherlands' King's Day (April 27) is marked with nationwide flea markets and orange-themed street parties, and shifts to April 26 whenever the 27th falls on a Sunday - a rare explicit rule to avoid clashing with the sabbath rather than simply moving to the nearest weekday. Liberation Day (May 5) is a full public holiday only once every five years by law, an unusual periodic-observance rule found on few other calendars.
