The festive season has arrived, and with it comes one of the most beloved Dutch traditions: Sinterklaas! On Wednesday, 4 December Pivot Park will be filled with the scent of chocolate and the sound of cheerful chatter as community members gather at the Pivot to celebrate this special time of year.
Sinterklaas, the Dutch counterpart of Saint Nicholas, is all about warmth, generosity, and togetherness, values that perfectly reflect the spirit of our community. To mark the occasion, everyone at Pivot Park is invited to stop by for a cup of hot chocolate and to pick up a personal chocolate letter, a traditional treat that has delighted both young and old for generations.
While the celebration is primarily an internal community event, it’s a lovely reflection of what makes Pivot Park unique; a place where innovation, collaboration, and human connection go hand in hand. Moments like these remind us that behind every breakthrough and business meeting, there’s a vibrant community that enjoys coming together to celebrate life’s little joys.
Happy Sinterklaas from everyone at Pivot Park!
