Maskarada Day 2024: A Heritage of Gathering and Joy

On January 1st, the streets of our community will be filled with the sounds of Maskarada music, where the harmonica (Symfonia) and the double-sided drum, known as the tambor, create a festive atmosphere. Maskarada, which was on the brink of fading into history, has maintained itself as a vibrant celebration of culture and togetherness.

The start of this festive day will take place at SKAL, where Ingrid Sealy, our Deputy Acting Governor, will give the official starting signal with inspiring opening words. In a beautiful tradition, she will also carry the symbolic jar with handing over rum, an act deeply rooted in Maskarada history and symbolizes the connection with our local culture.
