Also known as Sinterklaas, this holiday is based on the Catholic feast day of Turkish bishop St. Nicholas of Myrna, which in the 17th and 18th centuries became a popular Dutch holiday. Join us for a visit from St. Nicholas himself, historical games, ornament crafts, gingerbread decorating, live music, and more!
Featuring music and storytelling by April Armstrong. A talented actress, singer, musician, and experienced storyteller, April Armstrong has been delighting audiences of all ages at Philipse Manor Hall for years.
This program is free and open to the public. Registration is not required.
