==Community Events=Betico Day===Official holiday in memory of G.F. (Betico ) Croes, on January 25th, we commemorate the birthday of the late Aruban political leader, Gilberto François (Betico) Croes. He helped the island attain the "Status Aparte". With its new status Aruba was given autonomy from the Netherlands Antilles, and was allowed to function as a commonwealth within the Dutch kingdom.

Officially starting in November, the majority of events, celebrations and parades are held in January and February until the Burning of King Momo, marking the end of Carnival Season. After the Burning of King Momo the entire island goes on hiatus, known as Carnival Monday (official day of rest).
