Sinterklaas arrival in Amersfoort

15th of November

The Sinterklaas arrival in Amersfoort in 2025 is an event you don't want to miss. On Saturday, November 15, the steamboat traditionally arrives at the Eemhaven, where Sinterklaas receives a festive welcome and pepernoten (ginger nuts) fly around.

Afterwards, the procession moves through the city center, allowing everyone to see Saint Nicholas up close. It is a day full of fun and excitement, with Sinterklaas and his Pieten arriving in the city. The arrival is a great way to start the Sinterklaas season and an unforgettable experience for both children and adults.
