Last night Sinterklaas came landed on the banks of the Hudson River. The night sky not far behind, the boat was draped in lights and guided by claus hat-wearing kayakers. The grumpus’ beat their drums and twirled their ritual dances in expectation. Hundreds paraded through the streets of Rhinecliff behind Sinterklaas on a prancing white horse. Next Saturday, the townspeople of Rhinebeck will host Sinterklaas and the grumpus' in a day-long celebration. A parade of lit stars and children will be an event not to be missed.
Very cool. I want your camera ;)
