The National Anthem and Flag Day holiday is held each year on March 18th and celebrates Aruba's independence.
A strong sense of pride is displayed each year as Arubans celebrate their “Status Aparte” and Flag and Anthem Day. An impressive folkloric production marking the holiday is held each year at Plaza Betico Croes in Oranjestad. This official holiday also features many cultural events showcasing the local gastronomy of Aruba, as well as sporting events and organized games for both adults and kids around the island.
Keep in mind:
As the National Anthem and Flag Day is an official Aruban holiday, you can expect shops, gasoline stations, and supermarkets to close early or stay closed the entire day.
