National Anthem and Flag Day, also known as “Dia di Bandera”.
On the 2nd of July, Curaçao celebrates that the Island Council met for the first time on that day in 1951. In 1984 this day was declared “Dia di Himno i Bandera” (National Anthem and Flag Day) and since has become an official day-off.

NH Real Estate & Associates
Meet Nick Hoetmer
My name is Nick Hoetmer and I have been selling real estate for more than 7 years on Curacao. In the past few years, I sold over 100 homes. I represent sellers and buyers. Furthermore, I work with tenants, investors, and lessors. My clients are locals, Dutch, American, Canadians, Venezuelans, Germans and others. I speak Dutch, English, Spanish and a little German.
You’re interested in living in Curacao? I usually start with an intake meeting to get to know each other better. This can be in person as well as in a video call using WhatsApp or Face Time. After getting a good idea of what my buyers desire I do a market scan. After that, the first showing(s) for homes in Curacao will be scheduled.
