The weather is rarely an issue (around 30–32 °C year-round), so many people plan around what is on. Carnival (February and March) is hugely popular, with parades in the final ten days. April brings the Curaçao International Film Festival Rotterdam and King's Day. Late August into early September is the Curaçao North Sea Jazz Festival. December and early January are special, with pagaras, fireworks, New Year's Eve parties, the Unox New Year's Splash and Fuik Day.

Mosquitoes are a nuisance and can carry disease, so it is best to avoid bites. They are most active around dawn and dusk, and more numerous a day or two after rain. Use a repellent containing DEET on all exposed skin; Picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus and IR3535 also work. Apply sunscreen first, then the repellent.
