After the success of its first edition last year, “Celebra Aruba” is returning once again — this time as a three-day event taking place from October 23 to 25, 2025, at the YMCA in San Nicolas.
Last year, large crowds of families and friends came together to enjoy a joyful evening filled with live music, encouragement, and a strong sense of community. This year’s event promises an even greater experience, inviting everyone across Aruba to be part of something truly inspiring.
Organized by The River Ministries, under the leadership of Ben and Jacky Kroeske from the Netherlands, in collaboration with ICA Aruba, the event aims to give back to the Aruban community and share a message of hope and renewal.
“We’ve prepared around €20,000 in donations to help people in need — covering groceries, fuel, rent, and more. Our goal is simply to be a blessing,” said Ben Kroeske.
One of last year’s memorable moments was the story of Yesse, formerly known as Alaska, who shared her powerful testimony of personal transformation and new beginnings. Her story reflects the true spirit of Celebra Aruba, offering hope and inspiration to many.
The event will include live performances, local volunteers, and uplifting messages, with free transportation provided from various locations around the island. Registration and bus schedules are available on the official Celebra Aruba website.
Everyone is invited to join the celebration, enjoy the music, and embrace a message of hope, kindness, and renewal.
Admission is free.
