Children go door to door singing with lanterns for candy, also called 'lichies lope'.
Utrecht, where St. Martin is the patron saint, celebrates this extensively with the St. Martin's Day Parade, a light parade on November 9, 2025 and activities such as the ringing of the Martinus bell, the hoisting of the red and white city flag and the presentation of the solidarity prize 'De Mantel van Sint Maarten'.
The celebration emphasizes sharing, solidarity and justice and is included in the National Inventory of Intangible Heritage.
