Queen's Day is every year on April 30th. Everybody dresses in orange (I have to say I didn't though lol) and we celebrate the queen's birthday, even though it's in January, lol. I think originally our queen's mum's birthday was on April 30th... not sure. Anyway, the queen and her family choose a Dutch city/town to visit every year and they put on all kinds of shows for her. In the rest of the Netherlands, 50% celebrates with music and lots of alcohol, and 50% visits the flea markets all around the country because everybody's outside selling their attic/garage junk XD. Mostly kids asking 5 cents for something

Yes, there are dark skinned Pollys. These are the three different skin tones, as far as I can see in my collection:
