Local, Entertainment, | By Correspondent November 12, 2026

 

WILLEMSTAD – Preparations for Carnival 2027 are underway in Curaçao, with Prekario inspectors beginning field inspections to verify that installations and structures along public roads comply with the conditions established in their permits.

The inspection activities began last Saturday as part of the government's preparations for the upcoming Carnival season.

According to information released by Prekario, technical personnel have started visiting locations to check whether the dimensions of installations correspond with the measurements authorized in permits issued to individual clients.

The inspections are intended to ensure that structures placed along public roads meet the requirements established by the relevant authorities.

During the inspections, technicians verify whether the actual measurements comply with the specifications outlined in each permit. This allows the authorities to identify potential discrepancies before the Carnival festivities begin.

Carnival is one of Curaçao's largest annual cultural celebrations, attracting thousands of participants and spectators to the streets for parades and other festivities.

Preparations for the event involve various activities along public roads, making compliance with permit requirements an important part of the planning process.

By conducting inspections well in advance, Prekario aims to ensure that authorized installations comply with the applicable conditions before the Carnival season reaches its busiest period.

The inspections also form part of the broader monitoring and supervision process for Prekario 2027.

According to the announcement, the technical teams will continue their work in the coming weeks and months.

The authorities have not indicated how many locations have already been inspected or whether any violations have been identified during the initial checks.

No information was provided about possible enforcement measures against permit holders whose installations do not meet the approved specifications.

For now, the focus remains on verifying compliance with the issued permits and continuing preparations for Carnival 2027.

Prekario has confirmed that inspections and supervision will continue throughout the upcoming period as Curaçao prepares for another Carnival season.
