They really messed up when they changed the Merengue Festival dates to not Coincide with My beloved Quinepas.

Perhaps people got tired of listening to two chords over and over and over and over and over again.*

This was once a great event with a long stretch of the malecon closed off. Many stages set up and literally dozens of acts to see. Now it is reduced to this? Wow times have certainly changed.

Maybe they learned something. Why close the malecon off when there is now a nice plaza to host the event. How can one listen to more than one band playing at a time.

I went in 2013 and it was a very nice event geared for locals and any tourists who just happened to be in town and knew about it. What does one expect from free concerts?
