Sinterklaas Parade – Noordwijk

Anyone keeping an eye out on Noordwijk beach on Saturday morning may catch an early glimpse of the boat carrying Sinterklaas. This year, Sinterklaas will arrive on Saturday morning, 14 November, aboard the Paul Johannes rescue boat, near the NRB/ZVN building at beach entrance 10. This is something you won't want to miss!

After a chilly boat trip, Sinterklaas and his helpers will receive a warm welcome from the mayor, the children's mayor and the many visitors expected to join the celebrations this year.

But there's much more to come ...

From the beach, Sinterklaas will continue his tour on foot through the Hoofdstraat and along the Kerkstraat, finishing on the balcony of Hof van Holland in the Voorstraat in Noordwijk-Binnen.

There will be plenty of entertainment for the children throughout this festive parade. Sinterklaas and his helpers, music, singing, dancing, decorations, a lively band of Pieten, traditional Dutch spiced biscuits (pepernoten) and even a gluten-free Piet!

Don't miss out! Come and join the parade of Noordwijk's biggest children's celebration. Bring your family and friends – we'll see you on the beach at 10.00 am. It's going to be a wonderful celebration. See you there!
