At Saturday’s event, Sinterklaas and his helpers will be at the museum, inside Te Awahou Nieuwe Stroom, ready to meet the children and spread the cheer with plenty of presents and Dutch sweets, said van der Boon.
“Every year since we have opened we have shared this with the community. We ask that parents make sure Sint can gift your little one a present by breng een kadootje [bringing a present]. We will have pepper nuts or ‘pepernoten’ which taste a bit similar to the tiny windmill cookies. You only get these at Sinterklaas which makes them really special.”
He said Sinterklaas is something he looks forward to.
“We’re happy to share the tradition with our community.”
