Wednesday night, Aruba celebrated yet another Lighting Parade in San Nicolas with a display of colors, music, dance, and of course, many lights!
While Aruba is in the middle of celebrating the 70th annual carnival season, one of the most attractive events are the Lighting Parades that take place both in Oranjestad and San Nicolas. The reason why it’s most enjoyable and attractive to locals and tourists is not only because of the bright, unique costumes and beautifully adorned floats, but because this event takes place at night in a cool and breezy atmosphere.
This year, a total of nine groups participated in this parade, each one with a unique theme and original music, but all sharing the same festive ambience.
The group sequence for the Lighting Parade San Nicolas is as follows:
1. TOB Carnival Group
2. Champagne Carnival Group
3. OPC Carnival Group
4. Colors Carnival Group
5. Dushi Carnival Group
6. Royal Carnival Group
7. Infinity Carnival Group
8. Empire Carnival Group
9. Don Flip Carnival Group
Keep an eye on the carnival schedule during these last few days of the carnival season, which ends this weekend with the Grand Parades in San Nicolas and Oranjestad.
