ARUBA CELEBRATES BONAIRE DAY WEEKEND WITH LIVE MUSIC AND THEATER

ORANJESTAD — Aruba was filled with music and cultural unity this weekend as celebrations for Bonaire Day (Dia di Boneiro) kicked off with a packed lineup featuring three musical groups and a comedy theater performance.

Friday night set the tone for the festivities, offering three distinct events across the island that brought locals and visitors together:
