❤️💛💙 𝐈𝐍 𝐇𝐎𝐍𝐎𝐑 𝐎𝐅 𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐀𝐌𝐀𝐙𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐕𝐎𝐋𝐔𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐄𝐑𝐒 💙💛❤️

Behind every successful parade, every event, carnival groups, every queens, and every unforgettable Carnaval moment, there are people who give their time, energy, and heart without asking for anything in return.

𝐒.𝐌.𝐀.𝐂. 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐬. 🙏🏽

For years, our loyal volunteers have been there behind the scenes and on the front lines, helping coordinate events, organizing parades, assisting participants, preparing venues, solving last minute challenges, and doing all the countless things that the public may never see.

They give up their evenings, weekends, family time, work, study times and personal time because they believe in Aruban Carnival and our culture. 🇦🇼

Today, we dedicate these pictures to 𝐀𝐋𝐋 𝐨𝐟 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐥𝐨𝐲𝐚𝐥 𝐒.𝐌.𝐀.𝐂. 𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐬, past and present.

You are the people behind the magic.
You are the helping hands behind every celebration.
You are an essential part of what makes Carnaval possible.

On behalf of Raad van Toezicht of S.M.A.C., the Board Members of S.M.A.C., Gruponan Uni, Stichting MUSICA Aruba and specially the Daily Board Members, 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐊 𝐘𝐎𝐔 for your dedication, your commitment, your patience, and your love for our Carnival. ❤️

𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥.

With deepest appreciation and respect,
Darren van Ommeren
President SMAC 2022–2026

👮🏽‍♂️🎉 CELEBRATING 40 YEARS OF KORPS POLITIE ARUBA! 🇦🇼❤️

Today marks the beginning of the celebration week honoring 40 years of Korps Politie Aruba, and as President of SMAC, I would like to take a moment to express our sincere appreciation and gratitude to the entire police organization.

On behalf of all Carnival Group Leaders, participants, volunteers, musicians, organizers, and everyone who is part of the Carnival family, we want to say:

THANK YOU! ❤️

Thank you for always being there.
Thank you for your dedication.
Thank you for your professionalism.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation.

And most importantly, thank you for working alongside us to make Carnival a safe and enjoyable celebration for our entire Island.

Behind every parade, every event, every band, every road closure and every Carnival celebration, there is a team working hard behind the scenes to keep our people safe. We may not always see everything that goes into that work, but we see you, we appreciate you, and we recognize your commitment. 👏🏽

Carnival is about joy, music, culture, tradition and unity, and we know that none of it can happen successfully without safety and the people who dedicate themselves to providing it.

So today, from the entire Carnival family:
🎊 CONGRATULATIONS ON 40 YEARS, KORPS POLITIE ARUBA! 🎊

May you continue to serve our island with dedication, courage, professionalism and pride for many more years to come.

We appreciate you. We respect you. And we thank you for always being there. 🇦🇼

From all of us in the Carnival family:
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE! ❤️💛💙🤍

🎭 CARNIVAL IS A TEAM SPORT! 🎶🔥part (2) tira un 👀 y tag esun cu bo conose y yame DANKI.

To all our amazing stakeholders who showed up or not fiscal present that contributed, THANK YOU! ❤️

Our Board came up with the concept of bringing everyone together for a General Stakeholders Meeting, a space where we could sit together, share ideas, identify challenges, and most importantly, find ways to organize better and improve the way we prepare for Carnival.

And we did just that! 💪🏽

Once a week, we gathered at Crisis Management Office to go through everything that needs to be considered to make Carnival safe, successful, well-organized, and enjoyable for everyone.

From planning and logistics to safety, coordination, communication and all the little details that people may not see behind the scenes, YOU were there, you shared, you challenged, you contributed, and you helped build. 🙌🏽

These meetings showed us once again that when the Carnival community comes together, BIG things happen! 🎉

📸 These pictures are more than just moments, they are a reflection of teamwork, commitment, passion and collaboration.
Nos a reuni, Nos a comparti, Nos a traha hunto, pa nos por a mehora. ❤️💛💙

To all our stakeholders CMO, DOW Aruba, Korps Politie Aruba, Dienst Brandweer Aruba, Directie Volksgezondheid DVG Aruba, Imsan, Serlimar, Red Cross Aruba, Dienst Technische Inspecties, Directie Infrastructuur en Planning, Horacio Oduber Hospital: you guys were the BEST! 👏🏽🔥

Thank you for your time, your energy, your ideas and your commitment to making Carnival better, together.

🎭 One Carnival. One Team. One Vision.
