Best Answer

The influence of immigrant oil refinery employees brought Carnival to Aruba in the 1950s. The workers came especially from Venezuela and also from the nearby islands of Anguilla, Barbados, St. Maarten, St. Vincent, and Trinidad.

The 56th Aruba Carnival Celebration starts on Friday, January 8, 2010. Festivities include a Balloon Parade in San Nicolaas on Sunday, January 31. Carnival ends on Tuesday, February 16 with the Grand Evening Parade in Oranjestad. Then there's the midnight burning of the straw King Momo in front of the main post office.
