The festivities begin four days prior to Statia Day, with vibrant celebrations in Oranjestad (Heart of Town). Each evening from 7:00pm, the streets come alive with stage performances featuring local, regional, and international acts.
During this festive period, Statia offers a wide range of activities for visitors of all ages. On Statia Day itself, families can enjoy traditional games such as ring toss, along with other fun-filled events. Local food vendors serve up a variety of delicious dishes, including popular soups like conch and dumplings, seafood chowders, barbecued delicacies, and more.
Statia Day is not only a celebration of the island’s heritage but also a time for the community to come together, share its unique flavours, and honour its vibrant traditions.
