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!
