The Netherlands' 2029 school holidays follow the three-region model. Easter on 1 April places spring holidays in late March and early April. King's Day (27 April, Friday) falls just after the Meivakantie for most regions โ a three-day orange weekend during the school year.
Summer holidays: ~6 weeks staggered by region across JulyโAugust. Liberation Day (5 May, Sunday) falls before the summer break and provides no school holiday benefit.
Autumn half-term: One week in October, staggered (Noord, Midden, Zuid).
Christmas 2029: Dutch Christmas holidays run from approximately 20 December 2029 to 5 January 2030 โ same for all regions. Christmas Day (25 December, Tuesday) and Second Christmas Day (26 December, Wednesday) fall within the school break.
