Don't miss Tivoli's Torch Parade in Oranjestaad and the Grand Parades in both San Nicolas and Oranjestad.
he final event is the Grand Evening Parade, which includes the ceremonial burning of King Momo, symbol of the flesh, on the eve of Ash Wednesday. It's all accompanied by music, from the Antillean "tumba" to calypso and steel bands of the English Caribbean and the salsa beat of Latin countries.
