SMAC receives coordination role
The decree entrusts Stichting Maneho di Aruba su Carnaval with coordinating and organising the celebrations. Diario identifies SMAC president Russette Croes, outgoing president Darren van Ommeren and ministry adviser Zuleika Wever among those attending. Activities begin November 11, 2026, and continue in January and February 2027. The report concerns the organising decree, not a new parade timetable.
