This will be our first time in Aruba in May, usually March and Sept. Not familar with this festival, are the daytime beach events free or are there tickets required. How does this work? I have signed up for e-mail updates, but would like some feedback from folks who have attended. Thanks.

here is the link to the festival's website, but i am sure that you already have that.
there is also an aruba phone number.
if you have skype, give a call and make inquiries, and the call will cost you only only small change.

i will email a man i know who is the uncle of the producer of the event.
might be able to get answers that way.
