The Life I Live festival

During Koningsnacht and Koningsdag (King’s Night and Day), the entire center of The Hague is decorated for the huge 'The Life I Live' festival. In most big cities in Holland King’s Day starts the night before, on April 26. While flea markets are usually not allowed to open before dawn the next day, many people are preparing their stalls (or sleeping in the street to safeguard their pitch) and the terraces are full of people.
