The national arrival of Sinterklaas appears to be scheduled for Grave this year, with strong indications emerging from a video released on the Sinterklaasjournaal website. The short film features subtle clues pointing to the historic fortress town, including a visual of someone holding an official chain of office from the Land van Cuijk municipality while retrieving a bottle from the water. Peter Linders, associated with Stichting Vestingstad Grave, acknowledged the clear connection to Grave, identifying elements like the Land van Cuijk chain, the Maas river near Grave, the Loswal, and even beacon trees reflected in the water. While not officially confirming the location, Linders suggested Grave's picturesque waterfront makes it a logical choice for Sinterklaas's landing, with the official announcement typically made by NTR and Sinterklaasjournaal later in the year.
