Aruba Bank officially announced its financial support for all children’s Carnival groups, in response to requests received at the end of 2025 to provide support for the 2026 Carnival season.

Children’s Carnival forms a large part of our culture. It fosters creativity, community pride, and the participation of children and youth, while at the same time passing on our traditions from generation to generation. With this in mind, Aruba Bank decided to actively contribute to the continuity and preservation of this tradition.

To support the groups’ efforts and help cover part of the costs related to Carnival preparations, Aruba Bank is making a donation of AWG 10,000 to each participating group. The donation is intended to help with operational and logistical expenses, recognizing that organizing a Carnival group requires significant dedication, time, and resources. The groups that will receive financial support are Grupo Noord, Little Groovers, Unity Carnival Group, Don Flip, Empire Kids, Champagne Kids, and TOB Kids.

“For Aruba Bank, investing in our children and youth is investing in the future of Aruba. Supporting our Children’s Carnival aligns perfectly with our commitment to community development, cultural preservation, and long-lasting impact,” said Marleen v/d Borgt, Managing Director of Aruba Bank.

Aruba Bank expresses its appreciation to all leaders, volunteers, parents, and children who work hard to keep the Carnival tradition alive. The bank wishes all groups great success and a Carnival season filled with joy and brilliance on the road.
