The story

Festival Un Canto pa Aruba su Himno y Bandera Carnival Village in Carnival Village/San Nicolas

Festival Un Canto pa Aruba su Himno y Bandera is San Nicolas's own patriotic song competition, staged over two nights at Carnival Village during Feria Patriotico week each March. Children, Youth, and Adult contestants perform original songs about Aruba's flag and anthem, sponsored in part by SETAR. Unlike the Oranjestad edition, it unfolds amid an open-air fair rather than a seated recital.

Two nights of youth talent take over the Carnival Village stage in San Nicolas each March, when Festival Un Canto pa Aruba su Himno y Bandera turns the season around Dia di Himno y Bandera into a launchpad for young performers rather than a single formal recital.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

This San Nicolas staging distinguishes itself through its three-tier age structure, letting elementary-age children compete alongside teenagers and adults on the same patriotic theme, a format not mirrored in the Oranjestad edition

02

The mystery stays covered

Its setting inside the larger Feria Patriotico fair means the song contest shares space with food stalls, artisan vendors, and a lively evening crowd, so the atmosphere feels closer to a community block party than a formal concert

03

The city starts moving

First-time performers and debut groups have won top honors here in past editions, giving the San Nicolas contest a reputation as a discovery ground for new local musical talent
