No one does Christmas in Iowa like a small town, and we’re spoiled for choice when it comes to the state’s best Christmas towns. But for my money, there’s no better place to spend Christmas in Iowa than Orange City. This small town of about 6,200 is known for its rich Dutch heritage, and that’s never clearer than when Santa Claus comes to town. Or should we say… Sinterklaas? The Dutch version of Santa is a little different, and kids of all ages can meet him as part of Sinterklaas Day – a festival taking place on the first Saturday of December every year. That’s just scratching the surface of this unique winter festival in Orange City, Iowa. This town goes all-out, with a combination of parades, games, light displays, shows, and delicious food to celebrate the season. Come along with us to discover why Sinterklaas Day is the perfect way to kick off December!
