  • Quiz Question

    What is the Kaya Kaya Festival?

    Answer

    A well-attended neighborhood festival in the streets of Otrobanda.
    Kaya is the name of the street in Papiamentu.

    In the months leading up to the Kaya Kaya Festival, districts are “cleaned up”, visually embellished and new murals are created on house walls. For the festival itself, which is accompanied by music, you buy a ticket including a cup. In the spirit of sustainability, there are no drinks containers anywhere except for these cups. The street festival celebrated its 5th anniversary in 2023.
