All shoes have been emptied, the gingerbread cookies are gone and the gifts are unpacked. Sinterklaas and the Piets are returning to Spain. Normally we only celebrate the arrival of Saint Nicholas, in Zoetermeer we also have an exodus.

Children from Zoetermeer had the opportunity to wave goodbye to the Goed Heiligeman on Friday, December 6, in the Dorpsstraat and the Stadshart. Sinterklaas and the Piets had packed their suitcases and decorated themselves with lights. Photographer Samira from the Zoetermeer neighborhood was there. View the photos below.
