The Dominican Republic Carnival is the most authentic expression of the culture. With its blend of color, music and religion, Carnival is a truly "Dominican" experience.

Carnival originally was a religious celebration on the date of Corpus Christi. The celebration became an escape of the pressures and rigidity of religious tradition. The carnival is celebrated for the month of February with its climax falling on or near the 27th of February, Dominican Independence Day.

Original masks, costumes, floats and masked dance groups come together. Each group represents different regions and towns throughout República Dominicana. The artisans work all year along with the members of the groups making the creative and imaginative costumes so they can join to celebrate, and compete, in this festival.
