Bonaire’s Lt. Governor Domacasse Continues Maskarada Tradition

Lt. Governor Domacasse continued a Bonaire tradition this past January 1st, by welcoming the Maskarada, children and adults who arrive at the Bestuurscollege on the morning of January 1st in costumes complete with masks.

In a recent message, Lt. Governor Domacasse emphasized that although there are many changes coming in Bonaire’s future, events such as Maskarada will continue and nothing will discourage these traditions.  Tourists are always welcome at such events to dance and take pictures. 

After completing their visit at the Bestuurscollege, they continued on to the Kas di Sosiegu (retirement home) and also the neighborhood of North Salina.  (Source:  Island Government release)
