Aruba Christmas Fair 2024

18 December 2024 · San NicolasMusic · Food · Art
For one evening in December, San Nicolas handed the street over to the fair. The galleries stayed open late, stalls went up along the promenade, and the lights, the music and the makers did the rest.

The workshops

Inside the galleries, tables were set for anyone who wanted to make something rather than buy it — paint, brushes, bare ornaments, and a few hours of the evening to use them in.

The makers

Handmade work filled the tables along the street — jewellery, ornaments, crafts and candles beside food cooked and sold by the island’s own vendors. Every stall was someone’s own.
