I heard Aruba has carnival just like in any other countries. For sure, the event is one of the highlights of the place. When do they celebrate carnivals? I hope I would be able to witness one next year.

Carnivals are part of the culture. I am not quite sure as to when would Aruba held carnivals. I think, the island would have lots of those during December. Have you heard about the Roadmarch? What do you think it could be?

Just check out the calendar of activities so you'll be updated with the carnivals and festivals they held through out the year. I wonder, what could be the difference of their carnivals with the other carnivals?

I visited Aruba many times but I only attended Bonbini Festival and Caribbean Festival. If you will witness these events, you'll surely enjoy and have fun. You will love the parades, parties, fantastic dinners as well as amazing floats and costumes. I'm looking forward to witness more festivals in Aruba.

are these family festivals or more like mardi gras is in new orleans?

What is Mardi Gras? Actually, I haven't heard about that. The island is rich with culture. Once you are there, you would witness so many festivals of everything.
