Regatta 2016 Info Sitemap:

This year the Regatta will again be on Coco Beach. However, the setup will be changed and everything will move much closer to the Den Laman Condominiums. There will be a main stage, food court, kids’ corner, handicrafts at the entrance, 2 bars and a Chill Zone.

Handicraft Entrance:

You will enter the event at the handicraft entrance. Shaped as an S, you will walk thru more than 20 handicraft booths before you approach the main stage.

Main Stage:

As you pass the Handicrafts entrance, on your right you will see the main stage. The main stage will be extremely large with good sound from Massive production, so you know you can dance and enjoy the regatta. There will be local music and also bands coming from Aruba and Curacao. On the last day of regatta there will be an international guest star performing as the headliner.

Bars:

There will be 2 bars at the Regatta, one for the food court and Chill Zone and one for the people at the main stage. Of course, the main stage bar will be bigger and both bars will have 2 to 3 token sellers. One of the bars will also be making exquisite cocktails.

Food Court:

The food court will have 30 to 40 food stands. The food court is always a multi-cultural food experience.

There are also enough picnic benches for everyone to sit and enjoy their food. There will be signs made to identify all the stands.

Kids’ Corner:

There will be a special kids’ corner this year along with a special entrance for kids and parents. Inside the kids’ corner, there will be stands that have games and face painting for the kids. And there are some attractions coming from Curacao so the kids can enjoy regatta safely in one corner and the parents can also enjoy the regatta music and activities without having to worry about the kids being unsafe. Different organizations will keep the kids entertained.

Chill Zone:

The Chill Zone will have tables and comfortable chairs for those who would like to sit next to the beach and chill. The Chill Zone will also share a separate bar along with the food court. Parents of the kids who go to the kids’ corner can also go to the Chill Zone to sit and let the kids have fun while they chill and drink cocktails and other delicious drinks.
