Bonaire’s Karnival Season Coming to a Close

One of the major highlights of the Karnival season each year is the Grand Parade, held the weekend just prior to Ash Wednesday.  The parade is held in Rincon on Saturday, followed by a repeat performance in Kralendijk on Sunday.  Images from this year’s Grand Karnival Parade are available on the Bonaire Insider Photo Gallery by clicking here. 

Each year, the various groups who perform in Karnival come up with new and innovative themes.  And this year’s parade was no exception as colorful and playful costumes paraded by the onlookers.  There’s just a few more days to the Karnival season, so if you haven’t yet enjoyed the festivities, be sure to be in Kralendijk this afternoon!  (Source:  Bonaire Insider Reporter, images courtesy of Elly Albers and Evert Bleijenberg)
