Festivals
Aruba's biggest blowout is
Carnival
, a colorful celebration that
rocks the streets with dancing parades, steel bands, and a gen-
eral party atmosphere similar to Mardi Gras. The culmination
of the festival is the
Grand Parade
, always scheduled for the
Sunday preceding Ash Wednesday.
Other special events include
National Anthem and Flag Day
on March 18, when the island shows its patriotic spirit. In June,
the island jams to the
Aruba Jazz and Latin Music Festival

The
Bonbini Festival
is your best chance to join in the party
spirit of the island; it happens every Tuesday night in
Oranjestad's
Fort Zoutman
