The Soul Beach Music Festival is an annual event that has been taking place for the past 8 years during Memorial Day Weekend in May.
You might remember during the late 90s', that the comedian "Sinbad" used to hold an event on the island of Aruba that brought back many of the classic bands and singers from the 70s, 80s and 90s for a huge weekend in Aruba. It was a smash hit.
Well the co-creaters of that event decided to bring back that same magic to the present day with a mixture of neo-soul artist, nationally known comedians and island beach activities to capture that same energy. This is the sixth year of the Aruba event and it has now become a staple for Memorial Day Weekend travelers who are looking for fun and excitement with people who enjoy the same atmosphere in location and music.
The event that has everything you would want -- great people, warm sun, beautiful beaches, hot parties, and outstanding performances by the best in comedy and soul music.

Can You Tell Me More About The Island Of Aruba?
You like beaches? Aruba's got beaches, some of the best in the Caribbean . . . in the world, for that matter. The photos only look as if they've been doctored. What you see is what you get: miles of white, sugary sand; warm, gentle surf; turquoise and aqua seas; and plenty of space.
And such nice places to stay. You can choose from luxury resorts, all-inclusives, cozy boutique hotels, and modest budget spots. They're all well maintained and chock-full of bells and whistles to meet the whims of most travelers. With all the package tours available, they can be surprisingly affordable, too.
Once the sun sets, there's plenty to do besides eat. You can try your luck at one of the island's dozen casinos or take in a live Vegas-style show. Bars, clubs, booze cruises, you name it -- if you're looking for a party, you'll find it.
Aruba is a tiny island. Only 20 miles long and 6 miles across at its widest point, it's slightly larger than Washington, D.C. It's the westernmost of the Dutch ABC islands -- Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao -- and less than 20 miles north of Venezuela.

This was my first time to this event. I am a single female who loved this weekend. This event drew a classy and mature crowd of professionals. This was a BREATH OF FRESH AIR. The parties were all day & all night. We also met & took pictures with players from greenbay packers, Pittsburgh steelers, Orlando magic and Atlanta falcons. They were down to earth & respectful. I am definitely going back again. Thanks because I found out about this event through your website. Brandy of Washington DC
