The occasion was Queen's day, but I guess it has since been changed to King's day.

"King's Day (previously known as Queen's Day, prior to the inauguration of King Willem-Alexander) is renowned for being one of the biggest and most colourful festivities in the Netherlands, and especially so in Amsterdam."

and I guess orange is the color of choice for this day.

Alizee had no idea what the big deal was that day and that it was Queens day, but the crowd was in a party mood, since everything is allowed that day including public drinking.
The reason for all the orange colors is that the Royal family's ancesters were originally from the House of Orange , their family name was actually "Van Oranje-Nassau"
