The story behind it
Originally called Bonaire Day, this celebration commemorates the formal adoption of Bonaire’s symbols. It has taken place since at least the late 1990s. Activities center on local pride and unity rather than religious or historical commemoration. InfoBonaire notes the entire island celebrates with entertainment in the streets, and a special bike ride is a signature aspect.
