Carnaval In Aruba

When visiting Aruba in the first two months of the year, you can expect to see costumes embellished with colorful sequins and feathers, people dancing to upbeat music, and out-of-this-world decorated floats. Why? Because it’s Carnaval season in Aruba!

Aruban Carnaval is an almost two-month-long celebration starting with the Torch parade in early January and ending with the burning of Momo, the spirit of carnival, just before Ash Wednesday. 

Make sure to ask our front desk team about a calendar of carnaval events and parades and immerse yourself in Aruba’s biggest cultural event of the year.
