This is where people dance and yell and wave their torches as they've been waiting all year for this moment!
As the flickering torches illuminated the night sky, performers, dancers, and musicians created an enticing and energetic atmosphere.
A Night Parade That Lights Up the Island
This is a cultural festival that's closely related to Aruba's Carnival season. Picture captivatingly bright and beautifully colored costumes, as well as influencers with the ability to masterfully dance whilst juggling flaming torches.
Many community groups showcase their creative works with themed floats and performances. The parade spirals around Oranjestad and each group aims to be show the funniest, the loudest, and the most colorful. Get ready for audience members breaking out into spontaneous dancing and the presence of steel drums, Caribbean music, and samba dancers.
The presence of many torches, maybe even hundreds or thousands, creates a magical mood that leaves it feeling sceming. The glowing torches resemble a dancing, moving constellation in the night. It's definitely one of those moments where instinct takes the form of a camera for short snaps, but in the end, you realize there is so much more to appreciate rather than just the memory. The memories last a lifetime.
