Checked with Tourismo this morning & the DATES HAVE BEEN CHANGED (don't they always in this country??).

The Merengue Festival is now 7th - 10th NOVEMBER!!
SEGURO ( unless someone decides to change them again beforehand!!). - Grahame

Due to contradictory information having been received, I checked again with Tourismo at Long Beach, Puerto Plata by personal visit. YES, the dates HAVE been changed so as not to clash with the Jazz Festival. THe dates are as above 7th - 10th November!!

JAZZ - 'OLD man'? ..... ME? You know full well I am 15 years younger than YOU!! Keep that up & you will get those little green sauces added to your next meal when you are not looking!!!!

Jazz festival is slated as being 3rd - 5th (inclusive) October moving across Puerto Plata, Sosua & Cabarete. For more info of locations etc., see DR1 callender of events under October, November, December heading 3/4 of way down page!

The Merengue Featival IS 7th - 10th NOVEMBER according to THREE checks at Tourismo!! I suspect it will be a quiet Family Affair this year as everyone still believes it will be in October so no-one will be travelling to it in November!! Sorry if that spoils your plans Musicqueen, but you know the authorities here, change anything just to screw up the maximum number of people. Rob was going to check his sources, but I have seen nothing listed yet. How about it Rob? - Grahame.

I received a PM from Rob yesterday who is amending the "Events" page accordingly. The Merengue Festival has been CHANGED YET AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Diablo I hear you all cry (plus a lot of other words not allowed on DR1!!

The dates for the Merengue festival are now ............................

21st - 24th November.

I checked with Tourismo in Puerto Plata yet again today & they confirmed they had changed the dates yet again to the above!! If you come, you might be the only one there as most will have been in October or early November!! - Grahame.
