Hi,
I understand this coming Saturday is Queen's Day in Aruba. Does this mean stores will be closed for the day?
I look forward to hearing from someone.
5 days and counting until 13 days in Paradise.

Queen's Day- April 30th and Labor Day May 1 are national holidays.

Restaurants-open
Supermarkets- check for individual hours, they may be open but limited
Stores- closed

Queen's Day
"An official, government ceremony paying honor to Queen Beatrix is followed by numerous sporting events and family-friendly celebrations. Sports competitions, kite flying contests and fun-filled activities are held at various sites, including community centers."

No problem

I forgot that Labor Day is Sunday, so supermarkets would have limited hours anyway.
