The Statia Government is working on a new programme called Statia 2026. The goal of this programme is to use the year 2026 as a benchmark year to support and connect ongoing conversations about the future of our island.

Celebrating Statia Day 2026 - Morning programme, special guests and First Salute, afternoon programme, and open-air expos;
