On April 30, the Dutch celebrate Queen’s Day. It is a national holiday to commemorate the birthday of Queen-mother Juliana. It is by far the most widely celebrated holiday in the kingdom of the Netherlands. Curacao – as part of the Kingdom – has its own way to celebrated Queen’s day. A little bit typical dutch {wearing orange clothing} mixed with krioyo stuff. This year, there are a lot of activities – all most too much, I think -, like food festivals, drag races, softball games, dance parties… Memento Vivi has chosen to join the street market in down-town Punda.
