Dominican Carnival has been around since the 16th century. History tells that the DR Carnival really became a country’s tradition after our independence which happened on February, 1844. Every year, we celebrate our traditional and very popular carnival. This amazing festivity is celebrated every Sunday of the month of February. Our carnival is enchanted by general happiness, you will find a variety of colorful parades in the streets. Thousands and thousands of people around the country and the world gather in the streets to celebrate to enjoy this wonderful holiday.
