You are cordially invited to join us for the festive arrival at our clubhouse AéroSport on December 4th at 11am the arrival of Kleeschen.

Arrival of Kleeschen (Sinterklaas) in a Cessna. Party time for children

Kleeschen (Zinniklos) or Sint-Nicolaas is a mythical figure with legendary, historical and folkloric origins based on Saint Nicholas. 

Kleeschen is celebrated annually with the giving of gifts on 5 December, the night before Saint Nicholas Day in the Northern Netherlands and on the morning of 6 December, Saint Nicholas Day itself, in the (Roman Catholic) southern provinces, Belgium, Luxembourg and Northern France (French Flanders, Lorraine and Artois). 

Zinniklos is an elderly, stately and serious man with white hair and a long, full beard. He wears a long red cape or chasuble over a traditional white bishop's alb and sometimes red stola, dons a red mitre and ruby ring, and holds a gold-coloured crosier, a long ceremonial shepherd's staff with a fancy curled top. He traditionally rides a white horse.

Please inform our office at info@aerosport.lu (Niki & Karin) if you're attending the event with your children. There are some details about the orders for Kleeschen you need to settle in advance with them. Please email them asap
