Coming this fall is:
Dutch Winterfest - 2010

Thanksgiving weekend marks the beginning of Dutch Winterfest in the city of Holland, Michigan. Sinterklaas (St. Nicholas) starts the celebration as he rides his white horse, Schimmel, in the festive opening parade.

A Dutch Kerstmarkt (Christmas Market), based on the popular open air markets in Europe, is set up in the city's market square. The market includes our Nelis' Dutch Village Kerstmarkt stand with many authentic Dutch Christmas gifts, including Sinterklaas items. Sinterklaas items and other seasonal gifts are available year round in our shop or on-line.
  Kerstmarkt 2009 was a lot of fun! We look forward to seeing you when we will again participate in Kerstmarkt 2010.

All during the year, you can get the flavor of the Dutch Christmas experience when you visit The Shops at Nelis' Dutch Village. A wide array of imported Dutch Christmas gifts and foods awaits you.

Also please see details about our popular "Storytime with Sinterklaas" pictured below.
