The National Herring Party is considered to be the Herring Party in The Netherlands. The Castle de Haar in Haarzuilens provides a magical backdrop for this annual event. Although its name would suggest otherwise, the Herring Party is as much about sampling the delicious new herring, as it is about people-watching and – for lack of a better word – networking. The impressive guest-list, which includes Royalty, politicians, members of the Diplomatic Corps, business-community, media and entertainment make for a fascinating mix of people. The National Herring Party is one of the few truly stylish events, providing photographers with a wealth of photo-opportunities, especially of the ladies wearing hats. Hundreds of guests roamed the vast Castle-gardens enjoying the live music, the various creative ways the herring was served, the sunshine and last but not least the unique ambiance. Originated in 1961, this year’s National Herring Party marked its 53rd Anniversary. That alone is a testament to its sustained popularity and success.
