Sinterklaas Day and Dutch Holiday Traditions Children's Program at the Mesier Homestead and Museum

At this fun family event, you’ll discover the history of Sinterklaas and learn about the holiday traditions that the early Dutch settlers brought with them to New Netherland. Learn how Sinterklaasavond (St. Nicholas Eve) was celebrated in the home, and taste some of the traditional Dutch sweets which were part of the festivities. There will even be a surprise visit by a special guest — St. Nicholas himself!

The program takes place at 11:00 a.m., 12:15 p.m. and 1:30 p.m., and is designed especially for children. The ideal age group is elementary school age, but all ages are welcome. Due to limited space at the Homestead, advance purchase is strongly suggested; walk-ins accepted if space allows.
