About
Super Sint Maarten is a neighborhood lantern parade that winds through the streets of the Indische Buurt in Amsterdam-Oost. Kids bring homemade lanterns and walk alongside big lit-up light sculptures, Pretvormer's glowing parade animals, costumed neighbors and live brass and percussion bands. Anyone can join the procession or watch from the sidewalk. It started as a neighborhood addition to the usual door-to-door candy round.
