The Sinterklaas Procession is a Dutch tradition where the Dutch version of Santa clause, Sinterklaas, goes on a procession through the city of Amsterdam on a steamer until he reaches the Scheepvaartmuseum where he is greeted by the mayor and continues the procession on foot. He is accompanied by 600 Pieten (mischievous assistants) as he makes his journey and makes sure to hand out lots of small spiced biscuits called pepernoten on the way.
