Carnival in Dominica
Carnival in Dominica is held on February 16. Carnival takes place on the Monday and Tuesday before Ash Wednesday which marks the beginning of Lent. It is a day off for the general population. In the months leading up to Carnival, there are Calypso shows, village feasts and pageants. Traditionally Monday and Tuesday are the two final days of celebration before the quiet and reflective Lenten period. This event in the second decade of the month February is annual.

First of all, for Dominicans, February is the most cheerful month of the year. We do not only have Valentine’s Day, and our Independence Day in this month. We also celebrate the Dominican Republic Carnival season through the entire month. Also we have the main celebration each Sunday at the most important Plaza or Street in town, with parades, music and live entertainment.
