Sinterklaas festivities in Oirschot

Sinterklaas in Oirschot

Information about the most wonderful period of the year!

For as long as we can remember, Sinterklaas has been visiting Oirschot every year. Along
with a festive company, a lot of presents, pleasant music and the tastiest
sweets, nothing is too crazy for Sinterklaas. This year, Sinterklaas will
arrive in Oirschot on Saturday 16 November.

The programme for the arrival

Sinterklaas will arrive at the Standaardplein at approximately 4:00 p.m. this year. After his arrival, the company will spread along the entire route. This means that the programme will start immediately at all locations. In this way, we hope to create an atmospheric arrival and avoid larger crowds.

This is the route:
The arrival starts at the Standaardplein and will continue through Molenstraat – the Vrijthof – Molenstraat – Markt. Note: the festivities of this arrival will not pass by the bit chair or the Dekanijstraat.

The programme:
4:00 p.m. – Warming up at Standaardplein
4:30 p.m. – Arrival of Sinterklaas and his Pieten
4:30 p.m. – Start of arrival festivities

Dress up as one of the ‘Pieten’ and find a good spot along the route!

Theatre shows

Every year, we also organise nine theatre shows which will be performed during the weekend before December 5^th. This year the shows will take place on Friday 29 November, Saturday 30 November and Sunday 1 December. For tickets and additional information, please visit www.sinterklaastheateroirschot.nl. This page is completely published in Dutch, but can be translated to your language of choice through translation programmes offered by, for example, Google.

The most pleasant house

Sinterklaas also has a lodging address. This year, he will be allowed to stay in the Mayor’s office in the town hall. From 16 November until 5 December, you are welcome to peek through the windows or leave a letter in the letterbox there.

The Sinterklaas celebration is a festivity for everyone! We love to celebrate it together. It would be wonderful if you join us.
