One night, one thousand seats, one unforgettable show of island generosity
Aruba’s culinary and charitable calendar reached another high point with the 7th Annual Long Table Aruba, hosted by Wind Creek Aruba. Held on Sunday, June 22nd, the event once again lived up to its reputation as “the only meal worth $100,000 for Aruba.”
The beloved one-night-only dining event featured a spectacular 1,000-foot-long table along the Oranjestad marina, serving a sold-out crowd of 1,000 guests. But it wasn’t just about the food—it was a powerful celebration of community giving and connection.
This year’s edition raised $100,000 for Stichting Hunto, an Aruban organization supporting individuals battling mental health challenges and addiction. The donation will fund a mobile care unit that brings vital medical and psychological support directly to neighborhoods across the island.
“Long Table Aruba is so much more than a meal—it’s a symbol of what we can achieve together as a community,” said Paul Gielen, General Manager of Wind Creek Aruba. “We are proud to stand alongside the incredible organizations working to create lasting change for Aruba’s future.”
Since its launch in 2017, Long Table Aruba has raised nearly $400,000 for local causes. In a shift from previous years, Wind Creek Aruba chose to support a single organization in 2025 to make a deeper, more focused impact.
Stichting Hunto offers mentorship, creative expression, and emotional support to those in need, and this generous donation will allow them to significantly expand their reach—bringing care and hope to more people than ever before.
The unforgettable evening was made possible thanks to the generosity of many local partners and sponsors, who joined to make this annual tradition shine again.
