Kingdoms Under The Sun has its Carnival roots from Aruba, but at present it reflects the UNITY of Carnival Lovers from different countries and islands from all over the world.

During Zomercarnaval in Holland every carnival group SHINES; they are SPECIAL in their own way, presenting their CREATIVITY through unique and elaborate THEMES. For ONE DAY in the summer they seem like little KINGDOMS that UNITE to CELEBRATE LIFE under the CARNIVAL SUN... We are all part of KINGDOMS UNDER THE SUN!!!

Kingdoms Under The Sun, in its former 7 years of presentation, has already opened the Zomercarnival parade in Rotterdam 3 times due to the fact that its Queens have won the max title of Zomercarnival Queen for the Netherlands.
