Purple ribbon

I have heard to one of my friend that their was one event in Aruba, wherein everyone is required to wear color purple or white. Do They still celebrate this event now adays or annually? :rolleyes:

I haven't heard such event in Aruba. Why was the celebration called purple ribbon? I would definitely enjoy it when I go there. Does anyone knows when do they held this event?

I guess, they called it purple ribbon because they are wearing purple color of there clothe. However, I wasn't sure the detail about this event. It was only my friend who told me about this. Do you this is one of the major event that they are celebrating? :rolleyes:

likewise here also..but its an interesting..i will gladly participate on that event wearing my purple dress..isn't it an exciting experience?

Maybe purple and white have something to do with royalty since purple is often considered a color for royalty. Is this a tradition imported from the Dutch people?
