Second Edition of "Island Fest Aruba" in San Nicolas a Success!

The second edition of “Island Fes-
tival Aruba”, which took place
August 28th, seemed to have
been another hit event for the
community in San Nicolas. San
Nicolas is considered the cultural
capital and has the honor of host-
ing this main festival at the end of
every month, promoting Aruba's
gastronomy, music, and art.

Island Fest Aruba is a new festival
for San Nicolas, where everyone
can come and enjoy, with no en-
trance fee, more than 15 differ-
ent food and sweets stands, and
handicrafts. There are also color-
ful folkloric shows.

This concept was introduced by
Minister Oduber to elevate the
quality of the festival that was
previously organized. It brings a
distinct version to showcase Aru-
ba, its people, and its traditions in
a unique way.

During the event, Minister Dan-
gui Oduber visited all the stands
to experience the gastronomy,
with a variety of typical Aruban
dishes. Minister Dangui Oduber
expressed that he is pleased with
the success of Island Fest Aruba,
where there was a diverse lineup
of music, including Tipico Tradi-
cional Musical, Honeypot, and
Buleria, creating a very lively at-
mosphere.

The minister also extended his
congratulations and gratitude
to the Island Fest Aruba team for
once again executing a success-
ful event that attracted many
visitors and had an excellent
atmosphere. At the same time,
he thanks the board and all the
vendors for believing in this new
concept that brings traffic to San
Nicolas.

The next Island Fest event takes
place September 25, 2024.q
