Bezoek van Sinterklaas

Bezoek van Sinterklaas arranges festive home visits from Sinterklaas, working together with the Parkstad Pieten. Families in Kerkrade, Landgraaf, Heerlen, Brunssum and surrounding areas can request a visit, giving children the chance to meet Sinterklaas and his helpers in the familiar setting of their own home. Visits usually include two Pieten, who bring sweets in their sack, and the experience is intended for young and old alike.

The initiative aims to make the celebration accessible to families with different budgets. For every paid visit, the team also tries to visit a child who might otherwise miss out, including children in families facing financial difficulties. People can use the contact form to suggest a family for a visit; there is no need to separately sign up for the charitable initiative. Availability is limited, and enquiries can be made through the website’s contact form or Facebook Messenger. Customer reviews describe the visits as enjoyable for children and adults, highlighting the team’s warm way of engaging with children.
