First time celebrating King's Day in the Netherlands? We've made a bucket list, so you'll know what to do (and what not to do). 

1. First of all, party so much on King’s Night that you are barely alive on King’s Day. This makes all the below so much more fun.
2. Dress up in the most ridiculous orange costume you can find - then regret that cameras exist afterwards
3. Eat so much oranje Tompouce that you wish you had never been born
4. Buy something useless at the flea market and then never use it (e.g. VSH tapes of your favourite Disney movie)
5. Sell something useless at the flea market  (e.g. a puzzle with some of the pieces missing) and walk away with some fool’s money
6. Crash a random Kingsday party
7. Lose all your friends and just make new ones - it’s easier that way
8. Celebrate that there are no lectures on this blessed day by studying (not serious, please don’t do this)
9. Proudly display your Dutch flag
10. Laugh at a tourist who has no idea what’s going on
11. Throw your own Kingsday party
12. Go to the Grote Markt and listen to the Dutch ruin classic hits
13. Rent a boat with some friends on the canals in Amsterdam
14. Go to Kingsland and rap along to Kraantje Pappie
15. Be as classy as Maxima
16. Work out at a Kingsday bootcamp
17. Proudly enjoy an Aperol spritz in celebration - and pretend it's not the most bitter taste you ever tasted
18. Teach an international student the Dutch National Anthem (or learn it yourself)
19. Do the orange edition of the bike of shame the morning after Kings Day
20. Try to eat seven beschuitjes in under a minute
21. Play a Dutch game - my grandma recommends sjoelen, and the King loves koekhappen
22. Comment on how weird Dutch games are (spijkerpoepen, really?)
23. Play some more Dutch games
24. Pay €2 to throw eggs at somebody (yes, it’s a thing)
25. Make an orange cocktail
26. Wear a mask of Willem or Maxima's face
27. Go see the King!
