Liberation Day celebrations
On 5 May the National Committee organises the 5 May lecture, which is given in the morning, and a cultural programme to mark Liberation Day.
Each year the programme is organised together with a different province. The Committee also coordinates the 14 liberation festivals held throughout the Netherlands. The Liberation Day celebrations draw to a close on the evening of 5 May with a concert on the Amstel river in Amsterdam attended by King Willem-Alexander, Queen Máxima and Princess Beatrix.
