Last saturday 'Sinterklaas' and a lot of 'zwarte pieten' (black peters) arrived from Spain with his steamboat in Harderwijk. There were a lot of children singing special 'Sinterklaas-songs' for him. He brought a lot of presents with him wich he will give to the children on the 5th of december. 'Sinterklaas' riding his horse through the city and waves to the children. The 'zwarte pieten' have bags with a lot of candy wich they scatter.
In the city were a lot of activities organized by the children, like singing, dancing, playing the piano etc.
In the evening the children can put their shoe near the stove and during the night 'Sinterklaas' fills the shoe with a present or candy.
