Sinterklaas is coming to Los Angeles! Buy your tickets here

Our Sinterklaas (Saint Nicholas) party will be held on Sunday December 8th, in Cypress. 

The celebration of Sinterklaas includes the visit of the children with Sinterklaas, Dutch Sinterklaas songs, Dutch treats (pepernoten), arts and crafts, a chocolade letter and gift for the children (until 12 years old). An authentic Indonesian lunch will also be part of the festivities.

As the story goes, Sinterklaas will be coming and will hit a rainbow on his way to Los Angeles. Through the rainbow, a remarkable change takes place and all the pieten (his helpers) will each be changed into one the rainbow's colors! To read more about our colorful pieten and the official position of the Dutch School of Southern California on this issue, please click here.
The Sinterklaas party is an important fundraiser for our school and of course, it will also be a big event for the entire Dutch community in Southern California.
