OUR SINTERKLAAS WORKSHOP, CELEBRATION SPACE IS OPEN ! THERE'S MUCH TO DO ! 46 W. Market St., Rhinebeck.


We need your help in creating the puppets for this year's spectacular Sinterklaas Parade, which will be December 5. Please stop by anytime between Noon til closing time, generally 8:00 PM daily, through Dec. 3. We have plenty to do and people to show you how! Paint, cut, glue, papier mache, create!! You don't need to be an artist - we'll help you!

Bring the kids! Come on over to the Crowns and Branches workshop at Celebration Space and avoid the crowd on Dec. 5! We provide the crown and the branch for your child to create his very own and wonderfully unique Crown and Scepter that they can carry in our parade! And if you can, bring more shiny stuff with you! Beads, trinkets, jewels, glitzy fabric, buttons and bows... we need it all!

While you're there, you can sign up to be in the parade! We need 200 people to animate the puppets and wear our costumes! Be a STAR! We need families to animate some larger puppets! We need singles to animate others!

See you there!
