July 21 marks the day that King Leopold van Saksen-Coburg-Gotha (better known as Leopold I) took his oath to become the first king of Belgium.
If you plan on visiting Belgium, note that most stores close on this day because it is a public holiday. Belgium's national holiday is celebrated with many different activities, like concerts and other festivities. You also tend to see a lot of politicians and the royal family if you go to the official events.
However, even though there are a lot of festivities in the larger cities, many Belgians do not care much for them, so do not be surprised if a Belgian forgets this holiday.🇧🇪✨🧇
