Every year, Curaçao bursts into color, music, and movement during its legendary Karnaval—a dazzling fusion of culture, history, and raw island joy. But here's the twist: with TripCuraçao, you’re not just a spectator. You're invited to join in. Our Local Carnival Experience gives travelers the rare opportunity to join an official Carnival group (locally called “gruponan”), wear an elaborate costume, dance through the streets in the Grand Parade, and be part of Curaçao’s biggest cultural celebration from the inside. Whether you're traveling solo, as a couple, or in a group, we’ll match you with the right crew—whether that’s a high-energy dance squad, a traditional costume group, or a more relaxed float-based team. ✨ Here’s how it works: Choose which event(s) you want to join (Gran Marcha, Lighting Parade, or Farewell Parade) We help you sign up with a Carnival group You get fitted for your costume and attend a rehearsal (or optional prep session) On parade day, we coordinate your entry, transport, and celebration from start to finish You hit the streets with your crew—cheering crowds, camera flashes, and all the island vibes at your feet! Whether you want to dance all day or just float and wave like royalty, this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
