Fact check: How many people in each city did no kings day draw

Checked on June 15, 2025

1. Summary of the results

Based on the available analyses, there is no specific data about how many people participated in "No Kings Day" protests across different cities. While protests were planned across multiple cities with a major rally in Philadelphia [1], none of the sources provide exact attendance numbers for these events.

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

It's important to note that the query might be confusing two different events:

  • Traditional King's Day celebrations, which typically draw around 700,000 visitors to Amsterdam alone [2]
  • "No Kings" protest movements, which were organized across multiple cities and states [1]

The context shows that King's Day itself is a major celebration with large crowds participating across the Netherlands [3], making it significant to distinguish between the celebratory event and protest movements.

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original query contains several problematic assumptions:

  • It assumes "no kings day" is a single, unified event, when the sources suggest these were protest movements occurring in multiple locations [1]
  • It presumes the existence of reliable attendance data, which none of the sources actually provide
  • It conflates potential protest movements with the traditional King's Day celebrations, which are separate events with different purposes and scales of participation [2] [3]

To get accurate information about protest attendance, one would need to:

1. Specify which event they're referring to (celebration vs. protest)

2. Consult local law enforcement or event organizer reports

3. Consider that attendance numbers for protests are often disputed between organizers and officials
