- Life I Live Festival. Evening of the 26th of April. While Amsterdam is generally known for having country's largest celebration of Dutch King's Day on the 27th of April, The Hague holds the largest anticipatory party the night before. KoningsNach (Kings' Night in The Hague dialect) has bands and DJ's giving shows in 5 locations in the city centre.
- Den Haag Sculptuur. June, July and August. Free sculpture exposition on Lange Voorhout with different themes each year.
- Prinsjesdag. Third Tuesday in September. Prinsjesdag or 'Princes Day' marks the beginning of the new parliamentary year. On this day, large crowds are drawn by the traditional journey that King Willem-Alexander makes from his palace at Noordeinde to the Knight's Hall at the Binnenhof. He makes the trip in the Gouden Koets (Golden Carriage), a gift from the people of Amsterdam to his great-grandmother Wilhelmina from 1903. The carriage is used only for this special occasion. However the Gouden koets undergoes a restoration and is replaced by the Glazen Koets (Glass Carriage) during the years 2016-2019. In the Knight's Hall, the King then performs his duty as the formal head of state by reading out the Troonrede (Throne Speech) to the gathered chambers of the parliament. The throne speech contains a summary of the policies the cabinet is planning to implement over the next year.
- Crossing Border Festival. November.
- TodaysArt Festival. Last weekend of September. International Festival Beyond Art.
