Sinterklaasintocht Rotterdam
The Sint Nicolaas Intocht Comité (SNIC) is organising the arrival of Sinterklaas and his Pieten for the 75th time. During this anniversary year, there will be an extra big celebration, with a large show on the Grotekerkplein for the first time.
The arrival begins at 11:00 with the opening at the Willemsplein. The Willemsplein is accessible via two entrances: entrance 1 on the west side of the square and entrance 2 under the bridge, near restaurant Prachtig.
The show starts there at 12:30, with Discopiet, among others, getting the audience in the mood. Around 13:00, Sinterklaas and his Pieten will arrive and be welcomed by mayor Carola Schouten. After a route through the centre of Rotterdam, the arrival ends at 14:30 at the Grotekerkplein.
This year there is a big show at the Grotekerkplein, where Sinterklaas will conclude his journey. Children and parents can come and watch and sing along.
