............Maybe things moved up because Easter is so early this year? Too many celebrations in too short a time?
Date as per below article:

SANTO DOMINGO. El alcalde del Ayuntamiento del Distrito Nacional (ADN), David Collado y Dagoberto Tejada, coordinador general de la Unión Carnavalesca del Distrito Nacional (UCADI) anunciaron la celebración del desfile del Carnaval de Santo Domingo 2018 para el próximo 25 de febrero en la avenida George Washington, en el tramo comprendido entre el Obelisco de Santo Domingo, conocido como Obelisco Macho y el Monumento de la Independencia Financiera de la República Dominicana, popularmente llamado Obelisco Hembra, en el que participarán más de 125 comparsas y personajes de más de 30 sectores de la capital.
WOW, thanks a lot for the link. A BIG surprise to me................
I guess this wasn't a last minute change. I hope next year there will be some info posted much sooner as to the date especially for people who plan their trip around Carnaval. I know a couple people who planned their vacation for first Sunday in March as it has been that way for at least the last ten years that i can remember.
Maybe but how can they make a last minute change? Some of the marching troupes come from other countries. SD Carnaval is always the best from the entire country. So does this mean that Carnavals on the 25th is other cities are being cancelled?
Riva_31 waiting to hear back from you......................
The biggest and best Carnaval parade in RD is not in Santo Domingo. It takes place in La Vega. Number one hands down. Ask any Dominican.
Like EVERYTHING else in this country, carnival is a substandard mess. 2 years ago I believe one group dressed as the KKK. Never short on ignorance are these Dominicans. Go to Brasil or Trinidad if you want to see a real carnival. Unless you have kids I see no reason for an educated adult to waste time witnessing this cluster phuck.

When was this, any link from a news source, interesting?
However and to address the second portion, my rebuttal to it would be that more ignorant were the creators of the original KKK group themselves.
Wouldn't you agree?
