Sinterklaas! An Old Dutch Tradition in the Hudson Valley Send-Off Celebration in Kingston

Sinterklaas departs from the historic Kingston Waterfront (playing “Spain” in our story) after a full day of store and gallery “open houses”, performances including Arm of the Sea Theater, workshops creating beautiful Crowns and Branches, and the Children’s Maritime Parade down Broadway, with stars and puppets galore. Kingston sends off Sinterklaas on a tugboat across the river to his destination (Rhinebeck). After his send off, there will be a Sinterklaas Soiree, Shadow Puppet Show by artist Liza Howlz, and plenty of specials at all of the local restaurants.
