Trooping of the Colour on the birthday of HM the Queen, Beatrix.
Traditionaly every Year the Garrisson town of Maastricht troops the Kings Colour. This is sinds the 1550's when William of Orange, fought against Spain. Cuts in the Ministey of Defence almost made an end to this 460 year old tradition. The Town Militilia, Teritorial Army , the Veteranssociety , the Maastricht Police Band and others uphold this tradition till this day.
