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.

Wow! You're so lucky that you we're able to attend those two festival in Aruba. I want to go to the Bonbini festival sometime. My siblings have witnessed it already. And I can see in the video how great it is.

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.

Mardi Gras is actually the day before Lent. It refer to events of the Carnival celebrations, ending on the day before Ash Wednesday

Aruba's next carnival will be on 2010. And that Roadmarch that you mentioned? That's part of the carnival.

I don't have much information about the Road march. I thought it was a different event. Anyway, when was the last carnival? I was thinking that October is the carnival month in the island.

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.

I don't know the exact month but, I think it falls in the last six months of the year. Are carnivals and festivals two different events? Which one do you think is better?
