Feria de Abril

Nuremberg Spring Festival

Through April 15

This two-week event takes place on the banks of the Dutzendteich Lake in the city’s fairgrounds. Its family-friendly atmosphere makes the perfect setting for traditional theme park attractions, festivals, food and drink.

King’s Day

April 27

This event in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, is the national celebration of the birthday of the King, but really just an excuse to party. Celebrations take place all over the Netherlands, but are extra raucous in Amsterdam. The streets (and canals) are packed all day and night with orange-clad partiers.
