It’s Carnival!

ORANJESTAD — While the official opening of the carnival season took off
with the Torch Parade at January 5, the island caught the carnival fever
and since then entered a series of carnival events that go on until March

that started private costume and masquerade parties. This year we cel-
ebrate Aruba’s 65th carnival, which means that the first grand parade
took place in 1955. Since than Aruba’s carnival has grown big and is now
