December – ‘Sinterklaas Celebration’

Step into a typical Dutch tradition with the Expat Club on Sunday, December 14, from 14:30 to 17:00, as we celebrate one of the Netherlands’ most beloved festivities: Sinterklaas. The exact venue in Roermond will be announced soon, but expect a free, colorful, and cheerful afternoon full of stories, gifts, and community spirit for all ages!

All expats will be welcomed by Piet, who will introduce the tradition before Sinterklaas himself makes his grand entrance. Between 15:30 and 17:00, Sinterklaas and Piet will bring joy, music, and of course—presents for the little ones!

Your first drink is on us, with additional drinks available at the bar. Just don’t forget to bring your festive spirit—and maybe a drawing for Sinterklaas! 🎶

Join us for an afternoon where folklore, joy, and community come together.

Spots are limited—so sign up quickly to secure your place.

About the tradition:
Sinterklaas is a centuries-old Dutch celebration, rooted in the legend of Saint Nicholas, the patron saint of children. Each year, Saint Nicholas arrives by steamboat from Spain to the Netherlands, bringing presents and excitement. The tradition comes alive every December with parades, songs, and the arrival of Sinterklaas and his helpers. Children receive small gifts, sweets, and surprises. But the celebration is more than just gifts—it’s about gathering together, sharing joy, and passing down a cherished piece of cultural heritage.
