The City of Sint

On November 15, 21, 22, 28, and 29, The City of Sinterklaas takes place at Museumpark Archeon.

For many years, Sinterklaas and his team of Pieten have stayed in the cozy medieval town of Gravendam in Archeon. During this special period, the park is transformed into The City of Saint. There are countless chimneys where the Pieten can practice skillfully delivering presents into shoes. In Sinterklaas’ Shoe House, they learn how to fill the shoes perfectly so everything fits just right, and in the Pepernoten Factory the tastiest pepernoten are baked.

The wrapping Piet, the horse Piet, the donkey Piet, and the carpenter Piet—they’re all there. And let’s not forget all the helper Pieten! They all follow Piet training in the City of Saint and earn their Piet diploma. Of course, the Good Saint himself will also be present for a meet & greet with the children.

Puppet Show: Sinterklaas and His Knight
During the City of Sinterklaas, there are daily performances of a special puppet show.

Piet Diploma
In the Piet houses, children can complete various activities, such as shooting packages with a bow and arrow, crafting with the ancient Pieten, making a cloak brooch, completing Piet training, and much more. Earn your own Piet Diploma!

Brunch with Sinterklaas and Piet
During the City of Sint, Sinterklaas will join the brunch on November 22 and 29. Enjoy a special Sinterklaas menu, sing the most beloved Sinterklaas songs together, and of course, don’t miss the chance to take a photo with the man himself!
