Carnival in Aruba is one big Caribbean party, a
world-class festival and to those who have never
experienced it, it’s celebrated with such passion matched
only by World Cup soccer. Its music is vibrant, colorful
and bright-hued and the thing that makes Aruba’s carnival
one of a kind, is that visitors all are part of the
ongoing scene. Queen contests, huge reaches of musical
competition, all spirit you into the early morning hours
to go on for days and weeks. |

‘Jouvert Morning’, the definitive
Caribbean street celebration, food feasts, and more
astounding parades every year, all lead up to the
Grand Parade held in
Oranjestad the Sunday before Ash Wednesday. Two events
that also draw admiring crowds are the
Grand
Children’s Parade,
which is a huge get together of several districts, social
clubs and schools and the Lighting Parade, a unique night
affair to remember, where people are decorated with
beautiful lights. The
Lighting Parade goes
to the farthest point of dazzling glittery show time with
miles of lighted fantasy floats and extravagantly stunning
costumes; a kaleidoscope of light in the Carnival beat,
shining brightly in the night and a tribute to the Aruban
feeling of splendor. |

No
words come to mind when trying to describe the beauty of
Aruba’s children, magnificently costumed, dancing to big
band sounds and the creatively decorated floats, which
stretch the visual imagination. Be prepared for oh-ing and
ah-ing and feelings of joy. Do try to catch the Carnival
when you are planning a vacation to Aruba! In order for
you to get a taste of this years’ Carnival, you can find a
selection of pictures from Diane Keijzer that give a
splendid impression of Aruba’s Carnival. |
