Curaçao's Flag Day (July 2) and Curaçao Day (October 10, marking the 2010 dissolution of the Netherlands Antilles into separate constituent countries) reflect the island's relatively recent constitutional history. King's Day, shared with the wider Kingdom of the Netherlands, is also observed, alongside a Carnival season that shapes informal closures beyond the strictly official calendar.
