The centrum is closed to cars & trams although the bikes & motorcycles do creep in to annoy all. The population jumps from 800k to 1.8m for the day. The party boats crowd the canals as all the tour boats are shuttered.
the Van Gogh for . . . the van Gogh's. Properly pronounced something like van Gok btw.

Koningsdag! Used to be queen's day or Koninginnedag. Nationwide garage sale! Great time to be there..
The "G" sound is hard to describe. van Gogh is kinda like van (rolling "kh" sound) -oak.
