Aruba Soul Beach Music Festival

For more than two decades, the Soul Beach Music Festival was held in Oranjestad, Aruba, every year over the American Memorial Day weekend. The event combined open-air concerts, comedy shows and beach parties, with a lineup centered on soul, R&B, hip-hop and funk featuring artists such as Chaka Khan, Lauryn Hill and Boyz II Men. Since 2025, the festival has left Aruba and returned to Sint Maarten, the island where it originally began.
