Aruba - Flag Day
March 18 is Flag Day in Aruba. This holiday is full of different events, like carnivals and fairies and it celebrates the anniversary of flag adoption in 1976.
Current state flag of Aruba was adopted on March 18, 1976. It consists of a blue field with two narrow parallel horizontal yellow stripes and a four-pointed red start with white fimbriation. Every element of the flag is symbolic for the country.
Blue color of the field stands for the sky and the sea, it's also the color of hope, peace and Aruba's future.
Two narrow yellow stripes suggest the movement towards “status aparte” (Aruba is a part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands). Yellow color of the stripes symbolizes wanglo, Aruba's national flowers, sun, gold and abundance.
