Nationale Tulpendag

Assalamualaikum :)

I just got to know that Dutches celebrate their National Tulip Day [Nationale Tulpendag] every third Saturday in January. This day marks the beginning of spring, which means that you can find tulips in any store in the Netherlands.

What I like the most about this day is its free gifts for citizens. At the Dam Square, there is more than 200,000 tulips placed every year for publics to bring home. They are allowed to choose and pick their own tulips and turn them into a bouquet of flowers.

Some workers are there to help them pick their flowers. From what I have read on most of the websites, their workers wear orange-layered coat which I think quite famous for Dutch. FYI, the orange color is well-known to celebrate their Queen, Her Majesty Queen Beatrix.
