Does Aruba have any specific holidays for the island that we don't recognize here in the U.S? If so, I think it would be fun to be there to see how they celebrate their holidays.
March 18 is National Day. The Carnival Celebration is one of the longest holidays and appears to be similar to the Mardi Gras. It starts the beginning of January and goes until the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday. There is a big parade on the last Sunday of the celebration.
