King's Day celebrates the birthday of King Willem-Alexander, born on 27 April. In 2027 that day is a Tuesday. According to the Dutch government, King's Day is a day off at most companies and always for civil servants; pupils are usually off. Because it falls on a Tuesday, Monday 26 April 2027 is a true bridge day: one leave day and you are off from 24 April 2027 to 27 April 2027. That suits families, as the school May break runs 24 April – 2 May 2027 in all three regions, with King's Day in the middle. When 27 April is a Sunday, King's Day is held a day earlier, on Saturday 26 April. That happened in 2025 and happens again in 2031; it does not apply in 2027.
