🌈 #1 Seasons in Curaçao
Curaçao has a tropical climate, so the temperatures stay consistent all year round at generally 28 to 32 degrees every day.
Let's dig deep into the high, low and shoulder seasons and figure out what they're all about.
🔥 High Season
From December through June, the weather is warm and dry, making it an ideal spot for those nomads wanting to escape the harsh winter climates in America and Europe.
It will be busy on the island from July to August due to an influx of tourists, and you can expect the occasional shower. Flights and accommodation costs during this period will be at their highest for the year.
🍃 Shoulder Season
May, June and September represent the should months and after the bustling peak period, fewer tourists visit Curacao, so there are plenty of cheaper accommodation options.
⛈️ Low Season
October and November are the least visited months in Curaçao. October marks the beginning of the low season in Curaçao and is the second wettest month. Although this will not affect your days much since rainfall occurs mainly at night, you should be prepared for occasional showers during the day.
November brings even more rain than October, yet the temperature remains warm at 32 Celsius. As a bonus, during this month, crowds are substantially lower than any other time of year, which means hotel rooms and airfares will be cheaper.
💰 #2 Cheapest Months to Travel in Curaçao
October and November are the least visited months; therefore, it is the most affordable time to travel to Curaçao. November is especially quiet since it brings the most amount of rain.
🎉 #3 Festivals and Events
It's good to be aware of the festivals and events happening in Curaçao. Doing so can help you avoid the large crowds and high prices or, alternatively, avoid missing out on an event you'll later regret not attending.
Here are some awesome events taking place in Curaçao throughout the year that you should factor into your planning.
🥳 Carnaval
Curaçao's Carnival is one of the Caribbean's largest and longest-lasting Carnival celebrations. It takes place in January and February, and it is the best time to visit the island to experience the excitement of the locals.
The festivities include impressive parades, floats, costumes and characters. There is also a beauty contest to crown the Carnival royalty.
🎷 Curaçao North Sea Jazz Festival
In 2010, the Curaçao North Sea Jazz Festival was created as the sister festival in Rotterdam. The festival takes place in August, and despite being smaller, with only sixteen acts on three stages, it is equally impressive due to the island backdrop!
🇨🇼 Curaçao Day
The most important national holiday on the island is Curaçao Day on October 10th, which celebrates the country's autonomy within the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
It is a day when people take pride in their nation and participate in cultural events, parades, and celebrations.
🏃🏼 KLM Curaçao Marathon - November
The first KLM Curaçao marathon was held on November 30th, 2014. Now the 10th edition is coming up in November, 2023.
The marathon will lead the runners along the waterfront of Curaçao, across the well-known Queen Emma pontoon bridge, and even over one of the world's highest bridges, the Juliana Bridge, which is 185 feet above sea level.
This is a cool opportunity for those who enjoy running marathons.
