Carnaval Banda Abou 2026

Carnaval in Curaçao is one of the most vibrant and joyous cultural celebrations in the Caribbean, and on February 14, 2026, the Bandabou Carnival Parade promises to be one of the highlights of the season — a lively, community-driven event that brings the western part of the island (Bándabou and Barber) alive with music, color and creativity. Expect fantastic costumes, spirited dancing and rhythmic local tunes as residents and visitors dance through the streets along the Kaminda Prospero Popo Rojer route toward Westpunt, celebrating Curaçao’s rich traditions and contagious island energy.

This parade, part of the broader Carnaval program that includes other parades and festivities throughout February, is a wonderful way for tourists to experience authentic local culture, enjoy family-friendly fun in a more intimate setting, and feel the true heart of Nos Carnaval — a celebration of community pride, artistic expression and pure joie de vivre that draws visitors from around the world to the island.
