Help us

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.
