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.

That could be one of the events in Aruba that tourists shouldn't miss. Do you know the story behind the Bonbini festival? When do they celebrate that particular event?

Bonbini festival, what's that? It sounds really interesting. Is that a festival unique to Aruba? I didn't think that Aruba had Carnival, though. Aruba seemed like it would be an exception because of its Dutch roots.

What could be the highlights of the Carribean festival? Are there any countries that participate in that event? I like clowns a lot. I hope I could see them there.

Festivals i believe are common in a\Aruba if I'm not mistaken around majority of the population of Aruba are Catholics, is that correct? if that is the case then there would be a lot of festivals and so on so forth as Catholics are oriented by that way.

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?

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